Blue to Gold, LLC
Anthony Bandiero, JD, ALM, is a police officer turned attorney who has spent his career making constitutional law usable on the street. He has trained more than 100,000 officers in 47 states in Fourth Amendment law, search and seizure, and constitutional policing.
He served in law enforcement, first as a municipal police officer and then as a sergeant with the Nevada Highway Patrol. He saw firsthand how little practical legal training officers actually receive, and what that gap costs agencies in suppressed evidence, failed prosecutions, and civil liability. He went to law school to close that gap, graduating summa cum laude from Gonzaga University School of Law. He also holds a Master of Liberal Arts in Government and a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Harvard University, and is a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command. He is admitted to practice in Idaho, Washington, and New Jersey, and before the United States Supreme Court.
Today Blue to Gold is the nation's leading provider of legal training for law enforcement, serving more than 7,000 agencies through in-person courses, on-demand instruction, published field guides, and the Legal Roll Call weekly legal update program. Anthony is the author of the Search and Seizure Survival Guide series, covering all fifty states plus a federal edition, the Reasonable Suspicion and Probable Cause Pocket Guide, the Miranda Survival Guide, and Bulletproof Report Writing. He serves as a search and seizure consultant to police and sheriff's agencies across the country and as an expert witness in use of force and search and seizure litigation. He also maintains a firearms and federal licensing law practice as principal of The FFL Lawyer.
