Reforming Police Training to Save Lives | With Use of Force Expert Chris Butler

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 57:54

In this episode of The Search & Seizure Show, Anthony Bandiero sits down with Chris Butler — 34-year law enforcement veteran, use of force expert, and founder of Raptor Protection and Safety Services — for one of the most important conversations we've had on this podcast.

Chris spent over 20 years in law enforcement training with the Calgary Police Service and has since become one of North America's most sought-after voices on officer safety, human performance, and use of force reform. His work takes him across North America and beyond, because as Chris puts it, human behavior doesn't know borders.

Here's what they cover:

Why traditional police training fails to transfer to the real world and what non-linear training actually looks like in practice
The articulation gap that gets good officers criminally charged, and how trainers can help close it
Cognitive vs. primal aggression, the dangerous blind spot most officers are never trained to recognize
The illusion of learning and what the research really says about skill retention
VR, AR, and the critical role of certified role players in modern training
The body-worn camera debate and the science of memory confabulation
Chris's three bold recommendations for law enforcement leaders serious about reform

Whether you're a frontline officer, a trainer, or a law enforcement executive, this episode will challenge the way you think about officer safety and what it truly means to be prepared for the street.

Search Incident to Arrest 3-5-2026

Friday, March 6, 2026 • Duration 57:48

Can you search a backpack after you've already handcuffed someone? What about a closet down the hall? Where does your authority to search actually end after an arrest?

In this webinar, attorney and former law enforcement officer Anthony Bandiero breaks down the law on Search Incident to Arrest (SITA) — one of the most commonly used and most frequently misunderstood exceptions to the warrant requirement.

Topics covered include:

The Chimel rule and the three requirements for a lawful SITA
The "immediate control" debate: does it matter at the time of arrest or the time of search?
Protective sweeps — what you can search automatically, what requires reasonable suspicion, and what's off-limits
Why Riley v. California means your phone search authority is essentially gone
The truth about pretext searches and when courts will (and won't) uphold them
How Arizona v. Gantt changed vehicle searches forever

Whether you're on patrol, in investigations, or just trying to stay sharp on Fourth Amendment law, this is the case law knowledge you need to make good arrests and keep evidence admissible.

Drone as First Responder Program with Flock Safety

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 01:57:59

Drone as First Responder: Building a Program That's Legal, Constitutional, and Community-Ready

Drones are changing the game in law enforcement — but launching a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program without the right legal and operational groundwork is a recipe for disaster. In this episode, we break down everything agencies need to know before their drones ever leave the ground. We cover the operational nuts and bolts — what resources, FAA waivers, and approvals you actually need — along with the legal landmines you need to avoid, including when drone use crosses the line into a Fourth Amendment "search," current case law on homes, curtilage, and public airspace, and how officers can clearly articulate the how, why, and when of real-world drone deployments. We also tackle the community side: how to talk to city councils, residents, and local media about privacy protections, intent, and safety measures so your program earns trust instead of headlines. Whether you're just exploring DFR or ready to scale, this one's for you.

Presented by Blue to Gold Law Enforcement Training in partnership with Flock Safety.
