• Recognize hot buttons and other obstacles that interfere with building relationships between law enforcement and community members

• Listen for and respect the emotional content in what community members express and develop an understanding of what police officers experience

• Use a conflict resolution process to find common ground in dealing with an issue that would otherwise lead to continuing tension

• Acquire a toolbox of ways to improve interpersonal communication by decreasing defensiveness, with particular attention to tone of voice and body language
