Very engaging and relatable
This should be taught in the academy. How easily it is to not understand what should be done during a lethal threat is incredible.
John is an excellent instructor! He is vey knowledgeable and makes his classes enjoyable for everyone.
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 fantastic, his class was awesome. He is so knowledge on the topics and being a former AZ peace officer makes the class and his information so much more reliable.
Very informative. John kept it interesting throughout the whole program, and provoked thought. Will definitely look into more of his training videos.
Very informative training. I hope this stuff hangs out in the back of my mind while on the job.
Great information
Great information for new and veteran Officers.

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.

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. His knowledge of case law is on par with Dale Anderson for any of the IL cops who've attended his classes. Would definitely recommend attending the class.

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.

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

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.

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!
Advanced Traffic Stops This course had great content and a breakdown of legal theories. The case law references were applicable and backed the topics covered. Our instructor, John, is very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Advanced criminal investigations, as part of my job I evaluate curriculum and instructional materials, this is a nearly flawless way to present this, John Wiehn has mastered the art of edutainment.
Wiehn was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions in depth. Would highly recommend taking his classes!
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.!
John Wiehn is extremely knowledgeable and makes the course content easy to digest and understand. Kept my attention during the whole day.
Really enjoyed this class! Very valuable information. I am excited to head back to my own agency and inform other officers of what I have learned! John is a phenomenal instructor! He taught my academy search and seizure, I am thankful I was allowed to come back for another class!
Advanced Search and Seizure Valuable information and presented in such an efficient manner to really teach Case Law. The instructor John Wiehn understand, informs, and presents materials in an engaging manner to really keep Officer’s informed and out of trouble. Really appreciate the course will be taking future courses!
Very helpful … learned Many case laws that are relevant. Excellent teaching style , kept the interest of the class
Class was fantastic. Tons of valuable information. Instructor was great. He knew his stuff and his delivery was amazing. Educational and entertaining at the same time. I will look into more Blue to Gold classes for sure.

John has great energy, shows excited passion and smart instructor.
Search and Seizure course with John Wiehn was excellent! Relevant information that improved my understanding and will help me better articulate my actions in my reports and testimony in court. Highly recommend this course.

Very informative. I appreciate the instructor's presentation, he held my attention through the potentially dry topic.
The training on search and seizure was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable and presented the content well.
Blue to Gold Search and Seizure is an amazing class. Sgt Wiehn is a top notch instructor and is capable of keep the students attention. I learned a lot about search and seizure in the state of Kansas. I will look for more Blue to Gold classes in the future.
Took the report writing class presented by Mr. We The instruction was through and relevant.
: I have attended Blue to Gold training in the past and it was excellent. Yesterday, I attended Advanced Criminal Investigations. The instructor was John Wiehn. He was very knowledgeable on the subject. He was entertaining and interactive with the class. I would attend future Blue to Gold trainings and would look for John as the instructor.

Good tactics are vital to law enforcement officers in their efforts to keep our communities safe, but they are just the beginning. This course will provide officers with a greater understanding of use of force case law, allowing them to more effectively recognize the legally-significant factors present when responding to resistance. After taking this class, attendees will also better comprehend the impact of stress on human performance, and both the value and limitations of body-worn cameras. Whether you are a patrol officer, a detective, a supervisor, a prosecutor, or part of your agency's leadership, understanding the legal realities of use of force is integral to modern policing. A superior knowledge of the law will reduce use of force incidents and decrease liability for your agency, empowering officers to provide the highest level of service to their citizenry.
Great Class offering different perspectives on understanding & articulation of Use of Force legal concepts
Hands down one of the best Use of Force classes I've ever attended. This class provided much-needed knowledge for any law enforcement officer, regardless of their rank or experience level. John was engaging, well-informed, and brought a wealth of practical insight to the table. I walked away with a stronger understanding of case law, decision-making under pressure, and how to articulate actions clearly and confidently. I definitely suggest this class to everyone in law enforcement—it's an investment in both your safety and your career.
From start to finish this class is full of great information. The importance for officers to know this information on use of force is invaluable and I would recommend the class be taken by every officer. John does a great job teaching and presenting the topic.
The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging The how of the class was spot on
Great reminder of the fundamentals of our authority.
Instructor was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Kept the class engaged and presented information that was easy to understand and relevant to current trends in law enforcement.
Great class, highly recommend. Lots of necessary knowledge to protect yourself and others.
Absolutely would recommend to take! Goes over a lot of case laws and scenarios pertaining around them!
Only doing this review for my certificate
Great Class!
Great course. We should all review this topic every year.
Awesome class! Vital to know you can do to survive.
Great class. Very valuable and pertinent information was shared. Instructor is very knowledgeable on the topic and had a great way of teaching the subject.
Great class full of up to date information and case laws
I found the class very informative and educational on the use of force case law! I would definitely recommend any type of law enforcement to participate in this training!
Class was filled with information!! John is a master of his craft and does a great job.
Course was excellent. Instructor was engaging. Enthusiastic, and confident.
Excellent course. This should be a requirement for every new and veteran officer when it comes to use of force.
Really great content delivered in an engaging way.
Excellent course with a lot of pertinent case law and other information.
I enjoyed the class and found it interesting how different laws can assist law enforcement officers while on patrol.
Great training at a great time.. Can’t beat the visuals and videos used for training.
Very thorough review of federal standard for UoF and applicable case studies. I think a CA-specific version of this class would be better for me since our state law conflicts with some of the training points. Specifically, we are encouraged state wide to slow things down and seek alternatives to force where feasible. Overall good information and I look forward to a CA specific iteration.
Great training and John keeps this interesting. This is the first full day webinar I've had and I honestly was not sure how it would go, but it is engaging and informative for patrol up to top administrators. Very worthwhile.
Thank you, John for the awesome amazing content on use of force application. Learned a lot of real world thought process on use of force situations and scenarios. Also, thank you to Mrs. Martin for recommending this training and getting us set up for it.
This was a great class, a lot of great info to add to your tool box.
Excellent training class on response to resistance. Helps reinforce confidence to defend the public.
Great class! I've taken many online live classes and this was the first that did not bore me. Always a great time taking a class with John.
Our Advanced Search and Seizure training is designed to equip officers with the knowledge and skills they need to independently analyze and solve Fourth Amendment problems, leading to a reduction in lawsuits and the ability to establish good case law. By the end of this course, students will have a solid understanding of when the Fourth Amendment applies, the requirement of consent, recognized exceptions, and the necessity of a warrant for every search or seizure. (Book included with each registration: Search & Seizure Survival Guide)
Outstanding course. I always learn something every time I tune into Anthony's free webinars or courses. I also took the Advanced Search & Seizure Traffic Stops course live on-line and thought that was great also.
i learned a lot. Its about the minor details, especially when it comes to our line of work
I was disappointed when the course ended, and surprised how quickly it seemed to move. Every module contained information that improved my knowledge of search and seizure, and I will watch it again. Great instructor
One of the best instructors I've had in my 12 years of being a LEO!
This training was great. It was presented in a way that makes the information extremely understandable. It also made me rethink the way some things are and have been done at my agency in the past. I'm looking forward to taking this information back to my patrol shift to better prepare them to do their jobs in the future.
Love these courses. Have taken the three day course. Excellent information and taught in a simplistic form
Had my attention the entire way through. great information that helps to update and refresh the knowledge banks for this career. Highly recommend it to other officers!
Very well presented
Helpful information, very well presented, in manageable portions.
great job, it was like I was in one of your live classes.
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.
This course has provided many new insights I can add to the toolbelt when conducting a s/s investigation.
Very informative class. I enjoyed the laid back feeling from the instructor.
Thank you for sending this so I could have a very solid review of material that was missed due to the technical difficulties from the Denton, TX Zoom course.
Excellent course. I found it very valuable that you gave examples of both legal and illegal scenarios.
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.
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.
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.
The way the class is laid out and all of the "tests" and points for each principle made everything very intuitive. I appreciated all of the examples and specific ways to apply the instruction for officers.
Great all around search and seizure information!
Wonderful and very informative course--it had real life explanations-
Great class
Outstanding course
Spectacular class! Great case law, easy to understand, and I enjoyed the best practices added in.
This course gives the learner a new look on curtilage, consent, warrantless home entries and much more. All around a great and informative course of the Fourth Amendment and how to effectively use the Fourth Amendment in our favor through articulation.
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.
As a new supervisor, this course help me gain the knowledge I need to lead my officers
Really good class and easy to understand.
Very informational.
I love how you provide specifics in areas that might be a little questionable.
This topic is used so often and often misunderstood. The course does a great job clearing that up to do be a better officer. You will leave full of knowledge.
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.
I’d recommend this class to all LEOs no matter how long you’ve been on the job. There is something to learn for everyone!
Great course and very informative.
Great information. 12/10 improved routine patrol knowledge. Statue limitations is a hell of a thing
Great class!!! Any officer should take this course!
Great class. Instructor is very knowledgeable and relays the information in ways you can understand and put in practice.
Great course! Relevant to our state we work in
Great class
The course was extremely educational and effective.
Great class and learned a lot. This was an excellent course that every LEO should take.
Great class! Learned a lot of information. Great instructor.
Fantastic course
Great instructor! Explained Case law down to the base
Great for experienced or new officers
Great class. Very informative and an eye opener for those of us who believe “This is how I always do police work” is standing case law.
Great course
Great class, learned a lot
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.
Advanced Search and Seizure training taught by John Wiehn is easily the best SaS training I have ever received. Well done! My first blue to gold training and I will be seeking out more. Thank you!
Wonderful class great instructor
Fantastic training with fantastic instructors.
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!
The presentation was amazing and brought boring case law down to a level that was both fun and educational. To see a Lawyer Skipping around the classroom was top-notch, well done BlueToGold!
This was an excellent class that thoroughly enjoyed. The best part for me was updated case law information, not simply rehashing old examples.
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.
This was a great training that does a good job of breaking down the fundamentals of search and seizure.
I attended the Advanced Search and Seizure one-day class and I believe it is a course that every law enforcement officer should attend for the informative (and fun!) information taught.
Search and Seizure class. I review a lot of educational programs as part of my job, this was the best way to present this material.
Advanced Search and Seizure is an excellent class that covers fundamental 4th Amendment issues every officer encounters during the course of their work. The class provided an overview that gave me more confidence to navigate the contacts and investigations I face every day.
The Advanced Search and Seizure class The course material provided is superior to all others I have partaken in. The details and concepts applied to the most basic to the most advanced concepts of the course are easy to understand and grasp, as well as entertaining and engaging. I was also very impressed with the instructor's knowledge and ability to get the students engaged and apply humor to make the class interesting.
Search and seizure - Best training I have ever received. This class should be included in all academies. Very clear and concise information from extremely knowledgeable instructors.
By far the best and most informative legal-based training I’ve attended
Very good refresher course for veterans and rookies. Answered a ton of questions throughout the course.
Useful case studies to help teach a training point

This class opened my eyes to all aspects of search and seizure. This class is recommended to all law enforcement agencies. So much detail and great instructor.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Search and Seizure. It is helpful to hear how the cases specifically on premises were explained in court. This is a subject that is rarely focused on in annual training but would be one of the most helpful in making quick and sound decisions. John’s enthusiasm made this class enjoyable and engaging throughout.
This is the best program about Search & Seizure that I've ever done. Excellent!
Advanced Search and Seizure. Information was well presented, instructor was knowledgeable and did an excellent job presenting the subject matter.

The instructor also used video vignettes to help illustrate the points made.
The class was great! Very educational!
Advanced Search & seizure class was very well put together. Appreciate how the instructor relates to the student knowing the common language to explain the law.
I attended the search & seizure class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and answered all questions to the best of his ability. He kept the class engaging and interesting by encouraging conversation. I would highly recommend to anyone in Law Enforcement.

Mastering Search and Seizure Great class
Incredibly knowledgeable instructor. All information was presented in a logical and comprehensible manner.
Seizure book. Great class extremely informative!
The Advanced Search and Seizure course really opened my eyes to the 4th amendment. The course instructor was very professional and I feel very informed about the content that was displayed to me today.

Advanced Search and Seizure……. Excellent Excellent Instructor….. Extremely entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable

Awesome training. Engaging and informative the instructor was fantastic in engaging the class and making the topic relatable
The training was great, and helped me further understand what a search and seizure is. Recommend officers with a minimum of a year of experience to attend.
This is one of the best if not the best and most entertaining search and seizure classes I have attended through the years. Makes me want to look at other training courses that are offered.
The class is very informative and something all law enforcement agencies should have. I would prefer the class be expanded to maybe two days so a lot more discussion could happen and more information broke down. Overall would recommend the class to any LE officer.
Great class. Refines case law into understandable patterns that can be easily applied. Gives the ability the think through the sequences of events to dictate the correct course of action.
I enjoyed the class and the instructor. The class was a really good refresher and provided some really good newer case law. The instructor was knowledgeable, and a really good presenter, and and felt like the humor and facts facts were on point
The Advanced Search and Seizure class was by far the best course I've taken related to legal theories and the rule of law. The instructor was passionate, informative, and entertaining, but also delivered his material in an easy-to-follow manner.
Attended the Search and Seizure class in Brighton, CO. This is hands down the best legal training I’ve gotten in 15+ years on Law Enforcement. I feel veteran officers would benefit greatly, as I have, by attending this class.
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.
Great class eye-opening with the scenarios and case law presented
The Search and Seizure class was great! It helped fine-tune my understanding of the 4th amendment. The information was easy to understand and will be helpful as I continue through my career.
I completed the Advance Search and Seizure online training. I enjoyed the course, and learned a lot of helpful tips. The course was informative and provided a lot of real world examples and explanations. I would recommend this course and instructor to others in my department.
Advanced Search and Seizure Class was great! As a new officer, it helped solidify concepts I was taught, taught me new ways to approach problems, taught me concepts and case law I had never heard of and made me feel like a better asset to my agency.
Overall great information regarding search and seizure. Very informational
Loved the PowerPoint points and how detailed they were, and how easy to break them down for a basic officer
Great information. Instructor was very knowledgeable of cases and how to apply them to the job.
I really enjoyed this course! There was a lot of helpful informations and explanation of cases. I’m really glad I attended.
Great case law with great conversation about how the cases were handled and could have been handled better
The class is very educational and definitely a great knowledge of wealth in the instructor.
Highly recommend for all cops! Examples given are great and can be applied to all aspects of our profession.
Great course, very good examples, and the instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining. All academy classes and officers out in the field should take this course as a new and or refresher.
Great class should be required for all new cops, didn't know what some things like Curtilidge was defined, I knew briefly
Class has been great, it has allowed me to understand more of the “ grey area “ we often navigate through in patrol. This class is a great addition to the basic knowledge taught in the academy.
First time attending great training and resources. Excellent explanation of Court Cases.
Came into this training with an open mind and now I’m leaving with a full learning experience like never before.
Advanced Search and Seizure class: Great review of a topic that is constantly changing and evolving. This is my second time taking this class and next time it’s offered, I’ll take it again!
The Search and Seizure class was amazing and I wish this class and the information that was covered was apart of my academy training. I have a more fluid understanding now then before taking the class.
The course was great because of all the case law review and application to real world scenarios, including those offered by the class. It’s nice to confirm our authority in some grey areas as well as to see how small difference in details can make otherwise similar situations vastly different when it comes to constitutional violations or not.
I really appreciate the level of knowledge and passion they share in the Advanced Search and Seizure course. I believe this course gives me the tools and training to be successful in my day to day work that is not available to me at my current agency.
Excellent presentation and explanation of the 4th amendment. Previously purchased some of the books and are a valuable resource!
The advanced search and seizure class was what I needed, especially as a young cop, to sharpen my decision-making and help me build confidence in the actions I'm taking while working the road.
I recently had the opportunity to attend the search and seizure class, and I must say it was an eye-opening experience. 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.
Advanced Search and Seizure Course was very informative with updated case law. Instructor was super knowledgeable and did a great job with presentations, videos, and thought provoking conversations.
This is probably the best training I have ever attended regarding search and seizure. It should be a must for anyone working patrol, narcotics or general investigations.
Great class helps us make better decisions. Should be mandated for all cops. Helps make sure we are doing our job correctly within the confounds of the law
Lots of helpful information. I feel more confident in search and seizure. I feel as if I can successfully utilize the tips and tricks mentioned to perform well in my position as police officer.
Good class, great refresh of SS. Instructor was well prepared and entertaining. Would recommend class
This was an excellent class! I have sat through many search and seizure classes and this out did them all. The instructor kept the attention of the class and made it very easy to learn.
I think the quality of the class was good and went in depth with Case Law backed material. Instructor was wonderful and communicated. Questions were answered and attention to students was great. I would've liked a little information on potential issues regarding data and computer/phone devices.
Great review. Loved all the case reviews.
I thought this was a great class and think everybody should take this course.
After being out of Law Enforcement for 6 years I am learning a lot of recent case law that has changed the way we do things. Great class.
Search and seizure class is great. Lots of time spent explaining boundaries and answering questions.
Most legal updates are boring and dry, and death by PowerPoint. John kept me focused, and presented the material appropriately. It was a good refresher, and answered questions I had.
It was engaging environment to learn. It was great overview of case law, and pertinent Colorado specific case law.
I've always loved Blue to Gold's videos and free classes. I got into them because Bandiero used to work at my agency. I read Nevada Search and Seizure cover to cover a couple times and scored top for detective testing out of around 12 people. Not a lot for most agencies but still significant for us. I attribute that scoring to Blue to Gold's book. I constantly am loaning out my books to people who want to advance themselves and encourage everyone else to get them too. They are a cops biggest tool for in the field and career development. The instructor for this class is super knowledgeable and being that he used to be a cop, makes him relatable to us. Not just some attorney. Online training is tough but he and his team are doing a great job addressing questions from in person and online students.
Search and seizure class was great.
Advanced Search and Seizure - extremely informative and very well presented
I enjoyed the Blue to Gold Advanced Search & Seizure class with all of the examples provided to help put day to day experiences on the job in to perspective on decision making
Advanced search and seizure was a very good class for patrol officers. We went over case law pertinent to the jobs. I will be re-teaching some of this material to new officers in FTO.
I just completed the Blue to Gold Traffic Stop and Arrest, Search, and Seizure course at my agency. What an absolutely phenomenonal course. I have learned more in the past two days than I did in my Police Academy. The course content was extremely applicable to our daily tasks on the street. I highly recommend these courses and look forward to taking many more in the near future! Thank you Chris McFarlin!
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. (Book included with each registration: Bulletproof Report Writing)
This is an outstanding class. All classes from Blue to Gold University are great. Very informative and definitely help with all kinds of things when it comes to being a better police officer. Thank you. I can't wait to watch the updated one.
I have taken this class before in person - highly recommend. Taking it a second time. Good reminder.
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 class to improve my writing and articulated skills. Love the exercises and the interactive portions of the class!
Very informative and well put together. This class is great for officer's who struggle, or who may need improvement with their report writing.

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 !!!
The report writing course helped me understand how to write my reports with more pertinent details and format them to be easier to read.
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.
Really good class! Helped me learn how to re-word and structure my report.
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.

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
I attended two classes. The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the courses easy to understand. I highly recommend anyone to take one of his classes.
