# Blue to Gold LLC
Blue to Gold LLC is a law-enforcement legal-training company based in Spokane, Washington. In the PDFOI-2026-1874 production it appears as one of several outside vendors whose marketing and training materials reached Little Rock Police Department (LRPD) inboxes during February and March 2026. Its mailing address is given in the email footers as "Blue to Gold LLC 12402 N Division St #119 Spokane, WA 99218 USA" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 436, "Blue to Gold LLC 12402 N Division St #119 Spokane, WA 99218 USA").
The company's content centers on Fourth Amendment, search, and seizure law. Its recurring newsletter, the "Blue to Gold Weekly Debrief," was sent to multiple LRPD recipients on February 9, 2026 under the subject "Debrief #27: Can an RV Have Curtilage?" The newsletter frames a legal scenario as "a Fourth Amendment search and warrant scope issue involving residential property" and advertises an upcoming webinar on "the legal boundaries governing RVs, motels, and tents" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 436, "This is a Fourth Amendment search and warrant scope issue involving residential property"). The materials name attorney Anthony Bandiero, identified as "Attorney - Senior Legal Instructor," as the author/instructor (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 441, "ANTHONY BANDIERO, Esq.").
## Co-marketing with Flock Safety on Drone as First Responder
The records most directly relevant to this investigation show Blue to Gold co-hosting a "Drone as First Responder" (DFR) policy webinar together with [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] The February 9, 2026 newsletter promoted a live event for February 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM PST, describing it as a partnership with Flock Safety "on a free webinar focused on building Drone as First Responder programs the right way—covering legal foundations, policy guardrails, approvals, and risk avoidance" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 436, "We are partnering with Flock Safety on a free webinar focused on building Drone as First Responder programs the right way—covering legal foundations, policy guardrails, approvals, and risk avoidance").
A follow-up email from Anthony Bandiero, sent Friday, February 20, 2026, circulated the on-demand recording of the prior day's training to LRPD recipients and described the co-branding in Flock's own marketing terms: "In partnership with Flock Safety — the leading public safety technology platform trusted by over 4,800 law enforcement agencies nationwide — we brought together more than 700 live attendees on Zoom and 350+ live viewers on YouTube for the Drone as First Responder Program training" (Emails 36-63.pdf p. 419, "In partnership with Flock Safety — the leading public safety technology platform trusted by over 4,800 law enforcement agencies nationwide"). The same recording email also referenced a Blue to Gold release titled "Drone Laws for Every State" (Emails 36-63.pdf p. 419, "NEW RELEASE: Drone Laws for Every State").
## Significance
Within this production, Blue to Gold is an example of the vendor-adjacent training ecosystem that surrounds law-enforcement adoption of ALPR and drone technology. It is not itself an ALPR or RTCC vendor; its role is legal training and policy framing. Its joint webinar with Flock Safety connects search-and-seizure legal instruction to Flock's drone/DFR product line, which is relevant context for the [[LRPD sUAS Drone Unit]] and for how DFR appears as a topic in the vendor messaging directed at LRPD. The record establishes the co-hosted webinar, the marketing footprint into LRPD inboxes, and the Spokane address; it does not show that LRPD personnel attended, registered for, or acted on any Blue to Gold training, and that question cannot be resolved from this production.
