I took the class on K9 case law. Chris was very knowledgeable on the topic. He’s very well spoken and would recommend this class not to just K9 handlers but to any officer regardless of rank.

Chris was very knowledgeable on the topic, I was only in one day of the tree day course and wish I had been signed up for more. The search and seizure section was well organized and very informative. Chris was able to answer all questions we had on the subject.

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.
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.

Great information. 12/10 improved routine patrol knowledge. Statue limitations is a hell of a thing
In our fast-paced instruction, we use real-world case law to delve into the legal aspects of searches and seizures in federal and state-specific jurisdictions, with a specific focus on traffic stops. Our goal is to provide officers with a deeper understanding of important case law related to traffic stops, emphasizing the significance of consent, exceptions, and warrants in any search or seizure.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Blue to Good Law Enforcement Training is great all around from their training course to their customer service. I ordered a package book set and in the set they sent me one of the wrong books which I reached out about. Richard Bandiero immediately got back to me and sent out the correct book. Richard was extremely helpful and professional in a timely manner.

I attended the ND Southwest Crime Conference. The Conference was phenomenal. Anthony knew how to engage the classroom. All of the training he provided was by far the best training I have ever been to so far. Blue to Gold definitely knows their stuff and can possibly shape the way we do our jobs as modern police!
