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.

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.

Just finished Terry Stops and Pat Downs. Great presentation. Instructor has great energy. Very knowledgeable and articulate.
I am an applicant to Alaska State Troopers. A trooper that I did a ride along suggested Blue to Gold to me for some studying preacademy. I feel Instructor Wiehn is very good at what he does and explaining things. good job Thank you.
Great class, kept everyone well engaged with high energy and great articulation procedures for pat downs and terry stops.

John's Terry Stops and Pat down class was fantastic! His classes are always energetic and informative!
Awesome!!
Great instructor, very knowledgeable
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!
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.
Best search and seizure class attended in 17 years. Well done, instructor was engaging, passionate, and humorous.
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 good training, very informational and good presentation. John is a very knowledgeable individual and great presenter. Kept my attention and was able to answer all questions. Would highly recommend this class and this presenter to anyone.
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.

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! (Book included with each registration: Search & Seizure Survival Guide)
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.
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.
Enhance your law enforcement skills with our highly acclaimed Real World De-escalation course. Geared towards dedicated officers seeking to minimize unnecessary use of force, this comprehensive training program provides practical and effective tactics for successfully de-escalating encounters. In a landscape where traditional police training has heavily emphasized force, mastering de-escalation is equally vital. By completing our course, you'll acquire essential skills to reduce unnecessary use of force, build community trust, enhance critical decision-making, and boost overall morale.
Great.
This class had very good information and it will be helpful moving forward. This kind of stuff is what I build my professionalism around. I am not the biggest person in law enforcement and this kind of stuff seems to help me more than people understand. It's helped me in so many different situations. I appreciate how you taught the class it kept me focused.
Very helpful, thank you
Thank You for the mindful videos and learning modules
The instructor did a great job presenting the material.
Another great class. I appreciate being talked to like a cop.
Very informative, well worth it!
Exceptional! Highly recommend to all.
These techniques can be used at work or at home.
Thanks for the training, it was great, and I learned a great deal of new information and ways to better communicate with people.
Course was awesome.
I really liked this class. It was very informative and I feel better prepared.
When I was forced to complete this training I was a little annoyed I had to watch 4 hours worth of video. As the training went on I actually learned a lot. It was great information, provided great tips and tricks, the instructor was chill and appeared to be himself and wasn't being too professional for the camera. It was a great training.
This course was actually very good. I went into it with low expectations because web-based training can be rough, however, the instructor was engaging, articulate, funny, and on point. The videos were great. The subject's relevance to current events was definitely helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone in need of some good de-escalation training.
All 4 classes I took were amazing. They were packed with all kinds of useful modern-day information, and the instructor did it in a way that kept the class engaged. Would recommend it to everyone in law enforcement.
Another great set of classes. We are mandated to take de-escalation and duty to intervene classes here, but BtG made a very dry subject into one that was not only palatable but enjoyable! John Wiehn was an excellent instructor and an expert on the subject matter. Plenty of good videos and cop anecdotes kept things engaging as well. 10/10 would go to any BtG training if they are as good as these two classes.
Great real-life training. The presenter was engaged and knowledgeable of the course data.
I was a part of the de-escalation training module. It was absolutely outstanding, the instructor was highly knowledgeable and easy to follow along with. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
Real World De-escalation: Incredibly relevant and applicable. It’s great to hear this sort of training from those who have backgrounds as LE and attorneys.
I’m still quite new to law enforcement so sitting in the de-escalation class was very informative. It explains some ways that I can better explain things to try and de-escalate a situation. However, it also explains that not all situations are able to be de-escalated. Which made me feel more confident in judging if a situation will be able to be de-escalated or not.
De-escalation This class was incredible. I really appreciated the videos that incorporated real-life situations in which the techniques were applied. Our instructor did an awesome job conveying the material.
Great class, you could tell the instructor loves what he does. A lot of great examples of do’s and don’t do.
Just attended the de-escalation class and it was a great and informative class. The class had a lot of discussion and made you think about how you do your job and can increase your overall success in situations. Would highly recommend it!
Good class about de-escalation
This de-escalation class greatly helped in reviewing and informing officers of great de-escalation tactics to employ and the situations in which they should be employed. The instructor did a great job at presenting the material and showed videos that provided conversations and how they relate to the de-escalation principles.
De-escalation class. The class was very in-depth in providing step-by-step processes to effectively de-escalate and non-escalate some situations that it is appropriate to utilize. The instructor having both LE and legal experience provided two different points of view on situations that are pivotal in how situations can proceed.
It’s really good training and very informative. More than most training, real-life scenarios and footage were used.
Good training, good instructor. I attended bulletproof writing, search & seizure, duty to intervene & de-escalation
As law enforcement professionals, the responsibility to safeguard justice extends not only to our interactions with the public but also within our own ranks. Failing to intervene can have dire consequences, from termination to criminal charges and civil rights lawsuits. Our groundbreaking Duty to Intervene course is a comprehensive solution, arming officers with essential skills to prevent unnecessary use of force, enhance community trust, and intervene safely and effectively.
Class should be mandated for all departments
Best course.
Overall a very informative class. Thank You
This course was very easy to follow and created an informative & educational building block which every law enforcement agency should build upon. As dynamic as public safety is, the importance of building trust and partnerships with the community are invaluable. The only way for LEO to conduct themselves is from a professional standard.
Moral class that all police officer should take
I have a whole new understanding of the Duty to Intervene. Which is to say I had no prior understanding of the Duty to Intervene. This course should be mandatory.
Clear and concise presentation of essential information about active intervention that is critical to the success of public safety. Very well done.
Thank you for putting together a great course. We all appreciate it!
The material presented and examples given were outstanding an on point.
Great content and great presenter!
This course would make an excellent requirement for all supervisors and line officers in any police department or any other agency with arrest powers.
Great training for officers of all levels.
An outstanding review of when and how to intervene before a situation goes sideways. The attached cases for each section provide excellent information to put the topic into context.
This is an amazing class, that could save your career if a time arises where you have to intervene in a situation. Rookies, FTO's, and Supervisor's should all take this class.
very helpful information in the performance of the duties.
Exceptional! A must for supervisors to pass along to their subordinates and save their careers.
Great, fully comprehensive classes. Very engaging with real-world, modern-day applications.
Good class and good information
I am a supervisory special agent with the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations assigned to Headquarters. Our office recently acquired your training portals regarding Duty to Intervene and Real World De-escalation. I have been a federal law enforcement officer for 33 years- and I want to express my appreciation for a very well-put-together program. Things have changed over the time I have served in law enforcement and I think your program effectively confronts the issues that we as law enforcement professionals must cope with. I am assigned to headquarters, but some of the things you address (especially in the Real World De-escalation portal) are measures that I can consider practicing with the management of my own staff in the office setting. Again—thank you and thanks for making us better law enforcement personnel!
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.
