For a detailed listing of Dr. Caldero’s qualifications, references and related professional appearances please consult his web site at BlueLineLearning.com. The key concept to Dr. Caldero’s training effort centers around the role values play in the application of the policing function. He believes that by focusing on this aspect of individual and organizational behavior positive change will result that will significantly impact and improve the relationship between the police and all the citizens they serve. BlueLineLearning is a company founded by Dr. Caldero to address contemporary issues arising from the relationship between police officers and the public they serve. It utilizes the concept of value-based decision making as it pertains to the application of the law enforcement function to analyze, understand, and address such issues as “Noble Cause Corruption”, “Racial Profiling” and other issues related to police/citizen encounters. Dr. Caldero has taught and developed these concepts over the past twenty-four years. He recently co-authored a Criminal Justice text, Police Ethics: “The Corruption of Noble Cause”, Anderson Publishing, which uncovers some of the underlying factors that contribute to these complex problems. In 1991 he co-authored an article concerning police stress, “The production of occupational stress in medium-sized police agencies: A survey of line officers in eight municipal departments”, Journal of Criminal Justice, Volume 19 No 4. His most recent work, “Value consistency within the police: the lack of a gap”, was published by “Policing”: An international Journal of Police Strategies & Management, Volume 24 Number 2, 2001. BlueLineLearning.com provides on-site consultation as well as on-line (CD) training to police officers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company also offers an introductory analysis of the value-based decision-making processes as they affect individual officers, supervisors, administrators and the operation of individual police organizations.
