De-escalation absolutely involves developing self-awareness, acting calm under pressure, not acting based on emotion or impulse, and knowing when to tap out if you've run out of patience. These are all qualities that would go a long way toward improving APD's interactions with the community .This is how it's taught in the mental health field, at least, I don't know whether police define it differently
