Mastering Search & Seizure


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!

Clearfield City PD

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.

Bulletproof Report Writing


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)

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.

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.

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!

5

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!

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.

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.

John Heppler

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.

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.

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.

C. W.

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.

Good training, good instructor. I attended bulletproof writing, search & seizure, duty to intervene & de-escalation

Duty to Intervene


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.

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.

Christian Burke

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.

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!
