I recently attended Advanced Search & Seizure, which was instructed by John. John was incredibly knowledgeable and made the class enjoyable and easy to understand. Throughout the class, John kept the class engaged and took time to make sure questions were answered and students had a clear understanding. John is a great instructor!

Solid and knowledgeable instructor with excellent crowd engagement skills and sense of humor. Not death by PowerPoint by any means and makes dry material interesting and engaging. High caliber professional instruction across the board.

Really good training. Did a great job of presenting the three factors in explaining reasonableness of use of force.

I just completed three days of training with John (my second time taking a Blue to Gold course). He is extremely knowledgeable in the curriculum and makes the classes both engaging and enjoyable. I had a great experience—thank you.

John is awesome and helped me see things differently about my reports. I felt I was good but I realize I can’t strive for better. Can’t thank John enough and his teaching style makes this class fun but professional. He has experience in the field and I liked his real world examples from experience.

An absolute badass of a presenter, and has the experience to back up his knowledge. I learned a significant amount and plan on going to more of these courses because of how the material was taught.

Phenomenal instructor. Even better information.

John made a very entertaining class made easy to understand specially for cops. He made enthusiastic jokes while implementing the importance of case law and scenarios alike. Would highly recommend taking a class not only from him but from HIDTA in general.

Great

Great training as always. B2G is the only professional development training I attend. My state training center doesn't even produce any equivalent training to the B2G topics. Thank you for what you guys do!

I have taken an in person class and watched several free webinars with John. He is very knowledgeable and highly engaging. I encourage all of my deputies to pursue their own law enforcement education. We can’t possibly teach as much as is necessary as often as needed and still take calls and be proactive. Rule #1 - Go home safe. Rule #2 - Have a home to go home to. Blue to Gold offers the training that will help us achieve that.

Thank you for taking your time to provide a vast amounts of knowledge to law enforcement officers, improving how what we might think case law is to having the confidence to know exactly what it is with the ability to apply it.

Good refresher, and interactive. John backed all his knowledge up with the appropriate case laws.

Another excellent webinar by Jon! Good faith and the fourth amendment was an excellent presentation by John lots of excellent and valuable information provided and real world examples given to reinforce the training and information being provided. As always, John does an excellent job!

John Wiehn is one of those rare instructors who makes complex legal topics easy to understand and genuinely useful in the field. His years of experience and real passion for officer safety show in every class. John connects with his audience, explains case law in a practical way, and helps officers feel more confident in their decisions. He’s knowledgeable, engaging, and truly dedicated to helping law enforcement do their jobs safely and effectively.

Very good, clear concise class. Entertaining (voice inflection), and knowledgeable

Very engaging and energetic. Very passionate about information he is giving.

Awesome information! Always up-to-date information. This is the best resource in today's policing.

He was incredibly knowledgeable in the fields of search and seizure/advanced traffic stops. He kept the courses engaging, but informative.

great training. Not enough time for these topics need longer classes because it’s all good information.

First time I enjoyed a class of this kind, the instructor was very helpful and explained all the concepts very well

Awesome instructor! Extremely informative and engaging.

Very knowledgeable about search and seizure and was willing to answer all questions citing statutes while giving real life examples.

The Advanced Search and Seizure class is one of the best classes I have had in 19 years. John’s energy and passion for this class made it enjoyable and informative. This is must for anyone in law enforcement.

I had the privilege of taking the Advanced Search and Seizure course with John as my instructor, and I can confidently say he was absolutely amazing. From day one, John had a natural ability to keep the entire class engaged which is a rare quality, especially in a subject that can get very technical and detail-heavy. What stood out the most was his personable nature. He created a welcoming and respectful environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions. But make no mistake that John isn’t just approachable; he’s also incredibly knowledgeable. His command of the material was impressive, and he didn’t just teach from the book. He brought in real-world applications, case law, and examples that made the content come alive.

John is a great instructor. He delivers the material to his students in a manner that is suitable for any officer's learning style or level of learning. They will understand and grasp the course information and be able to take it away and use it in the field.

Very thorough and detail oriented.

enthusiastic and passionate. Great class

Great instructor and great company. John breaks down the legal issues into an easy to understand format. Definitely would recommend any classes from Blue to Gold.

Awesome course. Great information and awesome instructor.

Great instructor that shows enthusiasm and passion for the course topic.

Less legal jargon, more generic explanations, more cop language

Great class

I’ve been to several courses John has taught, he keeps the class engaged, and explains the material well. I would definitely recommend his taught courses to others.

Great instructor that is down to earth, Don’t let the suit fool you!

Great instructor and very knowledgeable. For just a PowerPoint class, he kept the classes very engaging and I never once drifted focus from the class. I will definitely be taking classes from him again.

John was extremely knowledgeable in the practical application of various legal concepts, all while making class entertaining! Great class

Wiehn was engaging and used humor to keep me interested in the material he was teaching. I enjoyed the class, learned a lot, and would participate in another class he teaches without hesitation.

John provided clear and engaging material.

Great instructor, made the class fun and informative

John is an amazing instructor. Extremely knowledgeable.

Excellent trainer. Makes the topics interesting, entertaining, and relevant. Very knowledgeable.

The Community Caretaking/Search & Seizure training was excellent. The instructor broke down complex U.S. Supreme Court cases like Cady v. Dombrowski, Caniglia v. Strom, and State v. Krall in a way that was clear, practical, and directly applicable to law enforcement. I appreciated how the material tied legal principles to real-world policing scenarios, especially distinguishing between true caretaking functions and pretextual searches. The presentation style kept the class engaged, and the trivia questions reinforced the learning. The course gave me tools I can immediately apply in the field to stay legally sound while protecting both public safety and constitutional rights. Highly recommend to any officer who wants to sharpen their understanding of Fourth Amendment law.

Great class (Community Caretaking). John is very entertaining while still hitting the teaching points. You will not get bored. So much great information and applicable caselaw breakdowns.

As always, great info, great instructor!!!

Excellent in-depth course, John’s presentation was captivating, informative and he kept audience engaged. I highly recommend this course for supervisors, and all LE .

John is a wealth of knowledge. Very engaging instructor and brings understanding to what can be cloudy case law.

John is a very engaging instructor, also very knowledgeable, and he helps to apply the knowledge gaied to real world situations that officers will encounter in the field..

Great instructor, kept the class fun, engaging, professional, but most importantly educational. 5 out of 5 stars.

Great informative class. Kept it interesting and funny with good dialogue and videos throughout the class.

When I signed up for Advanced Traffic Stops, I wanted to learn more about case laws pertaining to searches and seizures; and I was not disappointed. Very informative class.

Excellent presentation. First presentation where I’m left not confused about cartilage or what I can or can’t do. Case law reference for each example leaves out doubts. The style of presentation is enjoyable and encourages involvement.

Great class! Very informative! Way to keep the class engaged with humor!

John managed to take a class about writing reports and make it interesting! He kept the audience engaged with humor and real world examples. Crowd participation was another bonus as he led the class in critical thinking exercises. 5/5 I would recommend this class to anyone.

I second other reviews by saying John is a stand alone instructor who has been one of the best in my 20+ years of receiving in-person training. I had the privilege of taking the Bullet Proof Report Writing class under his instruction where he kept my attention during the entirety of the course. John led the class mostly from a field officer's perspective, as well as other points of view within the justice system, and explains the material in a way that's easily relatable to everyday duty. I'm rarely impressed with most instructor led courses; this was not the case here!

This is the second course I’ve take that John has instructed. Both courses have been great. John did a great job presenting the information and keeping the class involved. I highly recommend taking any of the Blue to Gold courses if you have an opportunity to do so.

I had the wonderful experience of attending the Bulletproof Report Writing Class. The information provided was useful, up to date and beneficial to anyone who has to write reports. Get signed up right away! You can’t afford not to!

Great instructor. Brought the content alive with great instruction and humor.

Great classes

Excellent instruction and course

Invaluable training that every officer must be proficient in. Blue to Gold does an excellent job at presenting current information with knowledgeable and engaging instructors. Highly recommend!

John has been a top notch instructor, his law enforcement experience and his through knowledge of the law has allowed him to make this training relevant and realistic. I would highly recommend this training for all LE. Thank you John!!

John was a fantastic instructor. His level of knowledge, teaching style and energy made it easy to remain engaged with the course and its material.

Excellent training that every LEO should be familiar with! Material and information was presented in way where it is easy to understand and scenario breakdowns provided relevance to application in the field!

The search and seizure classes have been exceptional. The instructor is very funny and very knowledgeable. The course material seems up to date, and it is very thorough in what it covers. Highly recommend!

Sitting in John's class right now and what an unbelievable instructor. Keeps the class interesting. Very knowledgeable and well spoken instructor.....almost as good as Anthony! Almost! Absolutely love John's teaching style!

B2G training is always top notch and never disappoints. Instructors like John combines knowledge and sense of humor to deliver an attention grabbing presentation. John always answers each question, either in person or online, with clear and concise information. B2G training, especially the 1 hour webinars, are training I push out to all the officers I supervise, and it’s all because of great instructors like John.

Advanced Search & Seizure that was taught by John was absolutely fantastic. He provided me with relevant and recent case law. He is one of the few instructors that was able to keep my attention the entire class. Thanks John!

John was excellent. Very valuable information on search and seizure.

I participated in John’s Advanced Search and Seizure Training. Not only was John knowledgeable he also delivered the information in a way that was not dry or boring. I appreciated his phrases to remember search and seizure concepts. I’ll use this with my recruits to help as it would have helped me when I was a new cop. There’s so much we are expected to know in the heat of the moment and case law is always changing. It’s imperative we have working knowledge of search and seizure and I feel more knowledgeable after taking John’s training. Thank you!!

This is a great class! A lot of good information.

Master at his craft!! Excellent instructor filled with alot of information while keeping you entertained. Recommend this class and any others that he teaches!!

I have taken many classes during my 2 decades as a LEO. John Wiehn is special type of person and exceptional instructor. He was very passionate about Officers well being and knew the laws. He’s teaching was very refreshing and knowledgeable. Thank you John Wiehn.

John is an exceptional instructor. I've been to other use of force classes where the instructor lost my attention by not teaching what I signed up for. He was well prepared and definitely an expert in this field. I would suggest this Use of Force class to all law enforcement officers.

Very knowledgeable, funny, and down to earth

Great stuff! Love the passion and explanation!

Great class. Kept everything interesting.

John is an excellent communicator with enthusiasm for the subject he’s teaching. He made a boring subject into a very interesting one with a lot of interaction. Great product Anthony!

Phenomenal instructor from start to finish. Definitely a class I would recommend and take again. The instructor interacted extremely well with the class.

Class was very educational. John was able to answer questions and explain things well. Gave articulable reasons for just about everything, not just “because it’s how we’ve always done it.”

John is an awesome instructor. He presented the information in an entertaining way that really helped getting the information across. He is highly recommended.

Excellent presentation! The videos of what not to say/do and the good example were fantastic.

John is an engaging, knowledgeable and lively instructor. I am impressed with his immediate ability to explain anything from all angles. This training should be had by any officer in any agency. Thank you, John and Blue To Gold!

I recently had the opportunity to attend a week-long Advanced Search and Seizure, Advanced Traffic stops, Advanced Criminal Investigations, and Certified Search and Seizure Instructor course taught by John Wiehn, and I can confidently say it was one of the most informative and engaging law enforcement training sessions I've experienced. From day one, John demonstrated an exceptional depth of knowledge in constitutional law, case law, and real-world applications of search and seizure principles. He broke down complex legal concepts into practical, easy-to-understand lessons, ensuring that every officer – regardless of experience level – could grasp and apply the material effectively. What set this course apart was John’s ability to connect legal theory to real-life policing scenarios. Instead of simply lecturing from a textbook, (Death by PowerPoint) he engaged the class with interactive discussions, case studies, and real-world examples that reinforced the legal principles officers must navigate daily. This hands-on approach made the training highly relevant and immediately applicable to the field. Additionally, John was highly approachable and encouraged participation, welcoming questions and fostering an open learning environment. His real-world experience and passion for constitutional policing was evident throughout the course, making the training both education and engaging. By the end of the week, I left with a stronger understanding of search and seizure laws, improved confidence in my decision-making, and the tools needed to ensure that my actions in the field are both effective and legally sound. I highly recommend John and the rest of the Blue to Gold Instructors to any law enforcement professional looking to sharpen their legal knowledge and stay ahead of evolving case law. This training is an invaluable resource for officers who want to protect their cases, their careers, and their communities by ensuring every search, seizure, and arrest is conducted lawfully and professionally.

You need a good student in order for the student to enjoy and take something from the class. Even more, you need a excited instructor. John was exactly this and made the class, even the dry material exciting. Also acted like a cops cop, not just an instructor presenting material. Would 100% take more of his classes.

John is extremely knowledgeable and his presentation on search and seizure is nothing short of exceptional.

John’s presentations are always engaging and informative. This is top notch training extremely relevant to current LE practices.

Incredible instructor - never missed a beat, and extremely knowledgeable with in-depth explanations of all the various topics that LE must know and understand. Highly recommended!

This is my first B&G training I’ve attended. After this class, I wish I would have attended more. Great instruction, lots of very helpful information, and a great instructor. Look forward to attending future classes.

John Wiehn presents the law in a story telling way, that keeps your attention without putting you to sleep. Great instructor.

Great energy for the topics when John is teaching important topics. Appreciate all you do for us.

Great instructor!!!!

I attended 3 days of training in Puyallup, Wa. I learned a great deal. John is incredibally knowlegeable and entertaining!

Great block of instruction on Search and Seizure. Not only is the material current and applicable, but John is an excellent instructor, keeping the class engaged, especially to a bunch of cops.

John did an awesome job instructing during the Cops and Cameras training! Entertaining and very insightful.

John is a fantastic instructor and keeps the class engaged. He clearly articulates and bridges the gap from legal jargon to cop work.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to John for being so awesome and taking the time to reply to my email with such valuable information. His input was super helpful, and I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, John!

In 18 years of law enforcement, I have been through a few classes. As an instructor, I have also taught a few. John is a first class instructor. The content was informative, and applicable to the laws of our state. John is definitely an expert in his field. From the newest Officer, to the oldest, all of us came away better informed and capable to do our jobs better.

I have attended three classes with John (report writing, mastering search and seizure and search warrants. He is a great instructor who keeps the class engaged and he has recently taken time to help review our inventory policy, which was very helpful! Blue to gold is the gold standard of law enforcement training.

John is very knowledgeable. Every question and hypothetical we could think of he gave us an in depth answer supported by case law. I have learned so much and really enjoyed picking his brain. This training is a must for all agencies .

Good class for law enforcement. If you are becoming a detective it’s a great refresher on search and seizure. Instructor makes class interesting and engaging.

I highly recommend this course. This instructor knows his material and has the expertise. Also knowledge is power.

John is an extremely engaging instructor that finds way to make a very bland subject manner interesting and memorable in such a way that helps retain the information divulged

Came for the case law traing, stayed for the dad jokes.

It was apparent that John was very knowledgeable on the material covered in class. He explained things well and was passionate about the material. 10/10 do recommend!

John is a great instructor. He teaches with enthusiasm and makes the class engaging

Very well spoken and knowledgeable on the topic. Was able to keep the attention of the room. Very enthusiastic.

Great class. Keeps me engaged and learning. Happy to known more about law enforcement.

This was an excellent training course. The Blue to Gold training courses that we took were very informative a John Wiehn was an outstanding instructor. Recommended highly as a training provider.

We had John out to teach Mastering Search and Seizure and Advanced Search Warrants. John did an outstanding job teaching and the material was excellent. This training curriculum should be required for all peace officers.

Outstanding course. Great instructor with a wealth of knowledge.

John did a great job of covering the course content and utilizing video breakdowns to drive home the lesson. Overall a great refresher for those who have attended other B2G courses.

I have taken Bulletproof Report Writing and Mastering Search and Seizure with John. His mastery of search and seizure and his presentation style makes for a highly effective learning environment.

As always, it does without saying. This training is tier 1 in all aspects. From the material, to q&a, professional knowledge, and engaging.

Outstanding update on case law and best practices.

I had the pleasure of being taught by John from Blue to Gold during a recent training session held in Greer, South Carolina. He covered several critical topics, including Report Writing, Search and Seizure, and Courtroom Testimony. John's extensive knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the course. I particularly enjoyed his sessions on courtroom testimony, which were enriched with new material from a recent national court case, providing us with up-to-date and relevant insights. What truly stood out was John's dedication to the officers in the class. He was always willing to take the time to answer questions, even those that were off-topic, ensuring that we fully understood the subject matter. His approachable demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the learning experience both informative and enjoyable. Overall, John's teaching was exceptional, and I highly recommend Blue to Gold’s training sessions to any law enforcement officer looking to deepen their understanding of the law and strengthen their career skills.

Both of the classes that I took were very informative. John is a great instructor! I'm looking forward to attending classes in the future.

John did a fantastic job covering courtroom testimony. The case included in the instructional material was spot on and backed up many of the bullet points within his slides. I would attend another one of his classes!!

John Wiehn is a great instructor. This was one of the best courses I’ve taken as a LEO. It was informative and very relevant. Instead of putting us to sleep with PowerPoint, John was able to keep it lively and interactive. I really liked how he taught the Federal Law and the State Law. I look forward to taking another course taught by John

Excellent training. Subject matter expert. Engaging three days of classes. Would definitely recommend.

I took Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Traffic Stops with John. As we all know, Washington state is very restrictive with police affairs. John dove deep into case law to provide Officers with more tools, and dispel commonly accepted beliefs regarding WA laws. And he did so in a fun and captivating manner. You can tell that John is knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Every self-respected LEO needs to take these courses — even the salty vets who may think they know it all. Thanks again John. I look forward to your next class in WA.

Great class! So much useful information!

Search and seizure was an excellent class. John was extremely knowledgeable and he kept it interesting. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge.

I enjoy all Blue to Gold trainings I have taken. Switching from one circuit to another can be confusing, this class helps me understand Search and Seizure as it applies to federal law, not just common practice.

Outstanding training. Everything was well organized, and John is extremely knowledgeable. I feel much more prepared to do my job. I recommend the courses to all of my colleagues.

Very well spoken. Very informative class.

You can definitely tell John knows his stuff. I thoroughly enjoy his training videos. I always take away something from them, whether it be new knowledge or a refresher. Very appreciative of him sharing his knowledge, as well as the whole Blue to Gold staff.

Instructor was very knowledgeable and made a known boring subject of case law very interesting and extremely educational. Kept the class engaged and was able to connect on an LEO level due to his prior LEO experience. It was surprisingly top notch and educational training that I expected to be outright boring.

Every officer should attend this class prior to being released from FTO. The knowledge gained from this class is invaluable.

John is a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable in the subject matter of search and seizure law. He also keeps everyone engaged in his training style

I highly highly recommend these courses. 4th amendment is a very highly debated issue. John does a great job breaking it down so we as officers can be as safe as possible. Any and all LEO needs to take these courses.

Great instructor.

This guy is almost funnier than bandiero! Very educational, presented in an easy to digest hour of fun! Absolutely fantastic.

Exceptional training, detailed oriented, insightful and interactive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great speaker, well prepared and knowledgeable, keeps you attentive, communicates clearly and is lively.

Mr. Wiehn is an engaging and knowledgeable instructor, and he is an invaluable asset to Blue to Gold.

John's Terry Stops and Pat down class was fantastic! His classes are always energetic and informative!

Awesome!!

Very good job

Did a great job, great speaker and kept my attention

Outstanding presentation on SITA. I’ve been on the job for 50 plus years and an attorney. I enjoyed the presentation. Picked up some good points. Excellent review

Partner of mine took one of his search and seizure classes and gave raving reviews on it!! He couldn’t stop talking about the class! Saw he was teaching a webinar the same week and signed up! No regrets! Great instructor great energy and great information!!! Thank you!!!

Great instructor, really knows what he is talking about.

Learned a lot from you tonight and some of the things we doing is not right. So I see the can and can’t now

I think you did a great job. Easy to follow and understand.

The webinar had great case law and easy to understand references. I loved it

Great instructor and very informative!!!

Incredible instructor, it would be worth the money to hear him speak.

Good classes. Instructor high energy, positive and engaging. Only recommendation is do intros of students, name tag on desk. This assists with students engaging with each other and collaboration of depts. Good classes

Excellent information to help make one’s reports better and lead to a conviction and avoid questions about details of the incident.

The class was awesome. It was obvious to me as I was taking the test how much of the information I retained. John did an excellent job presenting the material. I have already spoke with Erahan about bring John back April 2024 for a week to present the report writing class. I also really liked the format of the class as well as the testing procedure. Great Job!

John was my instructor and he presented a lot of good information to the class. John made sure we understood what h e was talking about before moving on. If we did not understand how he answered the question, he would do make sure he gave us an answer we understood.

Informative training that offers numerous resource post training for Officers. I recommend this for new and veteran officers. Also, for prosecutor's, too.

Charismatic, entertaining and most importantly very enthusiastic about his teaching material 10/10

Great class with lots of great/valuable information.

John was super knowledgeable on case law and state specific laws regarding search and seizure. His explanations and scenario based questions really solidified the content taught throughout the course.

Instructor was very educational and kept the class entertaining. Great at keeping the class engaged. Highly recommend.

Great class, great information. Instructor kept us involved and interested.

I attended the advanced search and seizure course with John Wiehn. He did a great job explaining different case laws to us and making sure we had an understanding of everything he was teaching us. Every law enforcement professional should take this course. We are all one call away from being case law ourselves and this course will protect you from that. Even though John is an attorney he keeps the class interesting and encourages questions as he was a cop himself not that long ago.

The training was extremely insightful. John took a complex subject and explained it in a common-sense manner.

I took the 4-day session including Search & Seizure, Traffic Stops/Searches, Search Warrants, and Interviews & Interrogations, and I honestly was not prepared for how much I had to learn. Being in law enforcement for 10 years and still having so many questions makes me wish I had access to or knew about this training earlier on, however I am grateful that I had the chance to take these courses! The topics are clear and relevant, the instructor (John) was relatable, funny, and extremely knowledgeable, and he was able to answer any outstanding questions I had. I am much more confident in these areas and have a greater understanding of the legal responsibilities I have in this profession and am very grateful that this training is available! VERY highly recommended!
