Honestly I was not looking forward to this class. I dreaded having to drive up here and sit through someone drone on and on about things that are old and outdated.

Absolutely great instruction. Both the Advanced Search & Seizure and Advanced Traffic Stop courses were exceptionally well presented.

I'd highly recommend more Officers (new and seasoned) be sent to these courses.
Great class with lots of viable information.
Nice class, good info that was easy to digest.
Very enjoyable, you knew what you were talking about with no question. You were very understandable and the Power Points were educational. I liked how you didn’t just read what was in power point but used common language to explain. (Case laws) I will definitely look for more classes you teach. I will also encourage others to attend your classes/ trainings .
Zach holds a fantastic class that can be taught to beginners to officers with experience. He deep dives into cases and has a way of applying thought to future cases. Highly recommended for all levels.

One of the best classes I have received in a while. Gained a lot of confidence with search and seizures and cannot wait to use what I learned out in the field
Been following Blue to Gold and Miller for a while and was pumped when they were putting on a class in my area. The class was very enjoyable and had a great critical thinking format. This is a must take class for any officer or supervisor.
Zach presents what is often difficult information to digest in a clear and understandable way. Utilizing scenarios to apply topics being covered is great to help reinforce the information and drive home understanding. Really enjoyed this class!

Great search and seizure class! The flow including history and evolution of case law was presented amazingly well, and the instructor was as knowledgeable and up-to-date on case law as any instructor whose class I previously attended.

Mastering Search & Seizure combines two of Blue to Gold’s most popular classes: Advanced Search & Seizure and Advanced Traffic Stops and added additional topics like community caretaking and emergency aid exception. This class is vital for any officer, at any level, with any experience. Students will complete the course with a mastery of search and seizure and will know how to make good case law…more importantly…why!
Outstanding!
Once through general information this course provided good content for lawful vehicle searches
Incredible class. I used the Search and Seizure Survival Guide for 4 years prior to this class. This class dove deeper into a crucial subject for all officers, and provided a more in depth understanding.
Mastering Search and Seizure was an eye opening class and allowed me to look at search and seizure in a new light. I had nothing to compare it to when learning about 4th amendment in the academy, but now that I have some experience it helps me know why I can do what I do.
In this comprehensive training program, we will delve deep into case law, providing you with a thorough understanding of how to respond legally and effectively to a wide range of challenging situations. From undercover operations to anonymous tips, constructive possession issues, and more, our course covers it all. You will learn how to articulate these complex issues in a legally defensible manner, ensuring your investigations are rock-solid.
Great class offering a wealth of information. Truly should be mandatory training for every agency. It takes complicated issues and makes them easy to understand.
Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Criminal Investigations should be taught to new officers throughout the country. Knowing your legal authority saves lives including your own. Great courses! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in law enforcement
I thought this was great info, well organized, and used real life examples we will see in the field. Thank you!
As always, Anthony provided excellent, useful information. I highly recommend this course.
Great course. This was very informative.
I've been in law enforcement for 9 years now, spending the last few as an investigator. What these Blue to Gold courses are teaching me is that LEOs should be getting far more training on the law and how it can work in their favor. It's taken me this long to learn how to properly apply Miranda yet ensure that application does not destroy my investigation. Same goes for search and seizure. LEOs should be just as up to speed on case law as our DAs. This was a great course!
Very useful info. I love that you have an explanation of the video or summary below. Helps get. A better understanding of information.
Amazing course. The instructor provides many details over subjects that are routine in everyday law enforcement and should be considered "Basic knowledge." but explains each topic in ways that help officers actually understand the legal reasons why they can/can't do something.
This course really enlightened me and I learned a lot of small tidbits that will help me out on the streets.
Good Class
Very thorough and a great course both for review for senior officers and getting the basics for those just starting out.
Awesome class. Well prepared now to build good cases for prosecution.
As a newer officer, this lesson answered many questions for me. Some of the information given (with case law to support) even corrects what some of my senior officers have told me is illegal (not against policy, but illegal). I would HIGHLY recommend this class to any offclicer - new, through Admin.
This training opened my eye and was awesome!
This 8-hour class is amazing. It is broken down into different lessons and each lesson was very informative and included case law, video break-downs/discussions and real-life scenarios. This class also has assessments after the lessons to keep the learner engaged in the class. This class is very informative and all encompassing on topics like, single purpose container doctrine, collective knowledge doctrine, how to improve your undercover investigations, use of CI's, and much more!
Excellent coverage of subject matters especially breaking down into easily understandable terminology and concepts. Will for sure be doing more on demand courses in the future.
Had a ton of insightful and though provoking material. A must take course
I just completed a two-day training in Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Criminal Investigations in Jackson, WY. This was by far the most entertaining and knowledgeable training I have attended in my short three years of Law Enforcement. Anthony Bandiero is very intelligent and I hope more law enforcement agencies seek him out to expand their knowledge.
Advanced Criminal Investigation This course breaks down components and legal concerns through advanced criminal investigations I'm a way that gets the student to actively think their way through the process and problem-solve.
Advanced Criminal Investigations Great class. It’s both an excellent review and has contemporary topics. They keep things simple and easy to remember
Great class on criminal investigations. The instructor has an incredible grasp of the 4th amendment and its application. Moreover, the continued of state-specific cases is extremely helpful!
Advanced criminal investigation class, great class learned lots of new information
Class Advanced Criminal invest stow 4/10/24 great information about different situations I have found myself in and have heard about in my first year on the road.
Bulletproof Report Writing is primarily focused on training officers the required articulation skills that will help them construct legally defensible police reports. Officers need to produce detailed and solid statements on encounters that allow prosecutors to charge defendants without asking for follow-up information. The key ingredient is the power to articulate and officers will learn this vital skill.
Great course with updated material.
Always great content. Blue to Gold instructors always give great examples of what they are teaching. Although report writing isn't the most exciting topic, it's the nail in the coffin. No sense in working hard doing a good investigation and doing a bad report that gets the case tossed.
Very good information. It’ll help me write better reports
Expert and entertaining instruction
Incredibly useful course and I will be recommending that everyone at my agency takes it.
Awesome course. Great information and awesome instructor.
Great explanation of reports and breakdown on what a report should contain

Great class to help with articulation with report writing
This class has helped me tremendously with my report writing and articulation. 10/10 recommend!
If you are second guessing yourself on getting this course, GET IT. I wish report writing was something more harped on in my academy.
Excellent class
This course changed the way I write report!
Clear and concise, even made things fun with videos. All around excellent job and I believe it will help me throughout my career as a LEO.
This is a great class, not grammar and spelling, but real report writing. Articulation, format, using case law, and more. It is now a staple for my trainees. One day will be set aside their first month on training to take this class.
Very helpful and informative
I really enjoyed the entirety of the course, One idea that may have been valuable to myself and likely others would be to have more practice exercises in rewriting example sentences. Thank you, I feel better prepared to do my job as a law enforcement officer.
The course is helpful.

Very informative and well put together. This class is great for officer's who struggle, or who may need improvement with their report writing.

Very interactive and great training. Lots of details to keep in mind when articulating events in a report.
very great course and the things that you are pointing out are amazing
This course made me a better report writer, because it help me to better articulate myself, and to structure my report in a logical manner. I think every officer should be required to take this class.
100% recommended this course
I attended the Bullet Proof Report Writing course in Henderson this week. Having never bought into the bare minimum amount of training per year, I have invested good deal of my free time taking courses over the last 30 years. I found the recent course in Henderson to one , if not the best organized and best presented, I have ever taken. I felt my time was well vested. I look forward to trying out some of the webinars next.
Great courses, great instructor. A lot of good information has been given to me that I will take back with me and apply them in the field. Would definitely recommend blue to gold to any LEO.
The book was filled with knowledge to help and understand the class and further my skills to write. The class was more based on the 4th amendment than being a better report writer.
I enjoyed the class very much. I haven’t been through field training yet, but I feel that this has better prepared me in the one aspect I have been most worried about
The course was very helpful and educational. A lot of good information was presented.
Very in-depth. Good review of case law. The videos were good. 15 minute longer lunch would be nice.
Bulletproof Report Writing: The class was very informative on how to write reports that are concise, persuasive, and easy to follow. The instructor was passionate about the material that he taught and was able to convey the information in a relatable way.
Extremely informative and helpful. I enjoy writing reports and this gave me good details for how to improve.
A really great class !!!

Bulletproof report writing is a very good class. Wiehn is a very good speaker/instructor
I attended the report writing class. I expected to be bored, but I was surprised by how well put together the class was and how entertaining the instructor made a very dry subject. I highly recommend taking the Bullet-proof Report Writing.

Great class and knowledge. Will be looking forward to purchasing additional book materials. Thank you!
The class was really helpful. The instructor has a large variety of materials to explain. I would recommend it to fellow law enforcement officers.
Great knowledge. Amazing instructor. I would definitely suggest this to fellow employees.
Very useful class along with the book. Changes your perspective on writing more detailed reports and avoiding getting caught up by a defense attorney's questions.
This course was great! The instructor was great in explaining everything
It is an amazing course, I learned a lot.
Fantastic class that helps officers understand complex scenarios and proper phrasing that helps articulate facts and reasoning.
The bulletproof report writing course was very informative and some of the best training I’ve had. The instructor was very professional and should get a raise.
Took the Bulletproof Report writing class and it was great, very informative, and a lot of useful information. Will definitely recommend to other officers.
The observation videos were a great way to put instruction into practice. I enjoyed and learned from all three classes and definitely will recommend them to my department.
Report Writing. Amazing presentation! Instructor was well versed and extremely knowledgeable!
The instructor was well-educated in the field of report writing. The observation exercises were great and getting you to pay attention in greater detail. Overall great training to attend.
Report writing. The class was informative, insightful, well-prepared, and rambunctiously taught.

Extremely helpful in reviewing and learning new and better ways to write reports.
Great class that focuses on report writing through correct articulation of facts and supporting case law.
Extremely valuable information, no matter what class you take! A must for all LE who want to progress their on-the-job knowledge!
The material was easy to follow, speaker made the class interesting and relevant to LE
Really good class. Really enjoyed the information and made it easy to understand with the real-life scenarios. Made me think about my articulation and to focus and list all observations made.
I enjoyed all the classes by Blue To Gold so far! The deep dive into how our legal system interprets our actions and how we can better explain our actions is literal gold. The understanding the classes teach leads to a better application of the law and thus a better understanding of it as well. I hope to see more classes from Blue to Gold offered to my agency and fellow officers in Colorado.
Bullet proof report writing. Overall entertaining course making valid arguments. Not only did it teach on how to write reports, but also how to conduct investigations.
Bulletproof report writing class was an excellent class on different examples that law enforcement utilizing 3 Golden Rules of report writing and the use of the acronym N.E.R.D.S.
Bullet Proof Report Writing. Great Class for new officers and Officers with years of experience.
I recently attended a Bulletproof report writing class that exceeded my expectations. The class was not only informative but also engaging and enjoyable. The instructor’s knowledge and ability to keep us engaged was remarkable. His humor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the learning experience. I’ve gained valuable insights and skills that I’m eager to bring back to my division. Highly recommended!
The way this class was taught and presented needs to be in the academy. This should be required training for Feild Training Officers teaching Officers In Training how to write reports. I had report write explained in so many different ways that I struggled to write clear and concise reports. This class is going to help improve greatly!
Report writing....I think this class had a lot of great information related to report writing. The information was easy to comprehend. I think there was a decent amount of search and seizure topics, maybe some of that can be scaled back. The book is a cherry on top! Thank you!
Bulletproof report writing class went in extreme depth into one of the most important aspects of my job as a deputy
This course allowed me to reflect on previous reports I had written that resulted in undesirable results and the reasons why they were unsuccessful.
I am a dispatcher, but I thought this class was full of good information.. I gained a lot of Information and will be using it on how I write my trainee dailies.. Thank you!!
I just completed report writing and really good presentation and made me more confident writing a report and helped me know what to write and what the prosecutors are looking for. After finishing this class, I realized I left a lot of “meat off the bone” on reports and surprised I haven’t been called to court with my lack of detail in my reports. Thank you BLUE TO GOLD
Awesome examples of case law and other officer’s reports that we can learn from
The course was great, I learned what and how to articulate better, which is what I believe some deputies don't know but I will recommend this course!
Great information that will help in future with not only my reports but reading over and teaching my OITs with their reports.
Great course very good information, new academy’s need a day of this course on top of their current report writing course
