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.

South Carolina

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.

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 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 Job!

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.

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!

I really enjoyed what the class had to offer. The report writing classes I’ve had are no more than 2 hours long and this was really in-depth. This class also explained the legality side of how your report can cause you to have a hard day in court. I learned a ton and hope to share everything I learned with my agency and fellow Deputies. John was also very knowledgeable and made a report writing class entertaining! I would recommend the classes and knowledge Blue to Gold has to offer to every agency in the U.S.!

As a new officer, this course was exactly what I needed (and exactly what my FTO who recommended Blue to Gold described). It helped me put all the pieces I was trained in together and then tested my knowledge against real-world scenarios. Overall, excellent training and very helpful. I am definitely more confident in my work.

5

Nathan Deherrera

I believe this class is crucial to both the new and veteran officer. The information is provided in an easy to understand method with references you can apply to your duties immediately. I highly recommend this training.

5

Travis Thompson

I loved the way the material was presented in a way that was easy of the "lay-cop" to understand. It was also presented in a way that was easy to remember and apply on scene, in the moment. I consider myself fairly squared away on search and seizure and still considered this class very worth while. So, thank you.

Paul Irwin

Great class and very useful. I have taught search and seizure and I enjoyed this class and your books. You are an asset to our profession.

Craig Meyer

This was one of the best courses I have ever taken. It should be a must for every cop out there. Anthony made it extremely easy to comprehend the things he was teaching. He took a topic that is usually very dry when taught and made it engaging and enjoyable.

How often do you encounter curriculum with dated case law and it's presented as the latest and greatest? Not this course, the references here are absolutely relevant and up to date as of Oct 2023. (course was taken 5/24). The course was well presented and clearly articulated the material in a manner such that I could work patrol tonight and put the lessons learned into practice. I'll approach curtilage with a newfound appreciation and always bring my C.R.E.W. With me.

This was a great course- building upon principles which everyday officers are enacting. The knowledge gained clarifies the ability and understanding of the “why” officers do certain things, and the “how” to properly do them; avoiding liability and penalty.

Mr. Biggs recently taught the advanced search and seizure class in Gillette, WY and as a whole I think the common opinion of Mr Biggs was "wow, he can teach, and this class is entertaining, informative, and he's a really cool guy." He gave ample examples, was clearly knowledgeable on the subjects and super thorough. He gained everybody's respect in a matter of minutes and I think from here on out we will all think back to this class and what Mr. Biggs taught us throughout our careers. It is rare to find people who are passionate for what they do and that care and especially who can teach the subject well. You have a great instructor and he needed credit where credits was due!

I attended the 8-hour Advanced Search and Seizure class in person. I have attended a lot of outside training and this class was by far the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much more in this class about search and seizure than I did in the police academy. The instructor was professional, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. I think every patrol officer should take this course.

Advanced Search and Seizure: the course and instructor were excellent. I’m a self-proclaimed 4th Amendment nerd and place a high value on protecting peoples’ rights. This class gave me a better understanding of some case law I did not have confidence in. In this profession, you need to know the “why” behind your action or inaction and if you are unsure about where your legal authority begins and ends, I recommend this course. Do not trust the old-timers in your agency that have been around for decades. Know current case law and trust yourself and your education. This course is awesome.

Extremely helpful for a new officer like myself. Provided a lot of clarity for discussions had during the academy.

The course was great because of all the case law review and application to real world scenarios, including those offered by the class.

As a supervisor, I found this course invaluable in providing new insights on how to ensure our deputies respect and uphold individuals’ civil rights during law enforcement activities. I firmly believe that this class should be a fundamental part of every deputy’s training within the first year of their career. The instructor’s expertise and teaching style were exceptional. Not only was he highly knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he also managed to make the learning process engaging and entertaining. His approach to the topic kept the class both informative and enjoyable.
