I personally think my most practical technique has been finger locks (Ubi dori). I have used them very effectively against multiple people (on the street) and it doesn't take long (at least I did not have a hard time) learning the proper way to use it. It can also be used on most people.

The most practical technique is no technique, be formless shapless like water.

Yubi dori is a very effective technique because it just drops people. Even big strong people. I also like kotegaeshi because it is so effective against small weapon's attacks. But as far as a principle goes, irimi is critical to learn. You must learn the proper timing and movement in how to enter properly. It comes directly from kenjutsu.

Aikido has taught me (amongst other things) to become more aware of my surroundings... don't place yourself in harms way... know how to de-escalate or neutralize a dangerous situation without causing harm to others. Having said that, some of my favourite techniques are Shiho nage, Nikkyo and Irimi nage.

BTW walking away doesn't count. I mean a specific martial art technique.
The Gracie Jiu-Jitsu armbar, it breaks the arm so fast, an Aikido Irimi-Nage, a Muay Thai round kick to the face or the legs, a snap kick to the groin and a side kick to the knee cap.
Eye gouging, ear biting, head butting and chokes are great for self defense if on the ground.
Also Aikido is a good martial art to learn for multiple attackers.

Kick them really hard between the legs and run really fast, always works for me. It took about 2 minutes to hone dow this trick, lol.

I started training before I was hired as an officer.....
I have been training in the martial arts for 16 years. Started out with Karate, then Tae Kwon Do, then did some Aikido (Aikikai). After doing that for several years decided to make a move to Judo then to Jeet Kune Do. I never found anything that was serious in my mind, until I started in Tenshin Aikido and then I devoted myself to it.
As far as academy training or post academy training, well, we did the defensive tactics stuff, but I laughed it off as something I would never use. I see a suspect get out of hand and then you have 5 officers jump on him. Why would I even want it to get to that point. I can say that I have always used a technique before the situation has gotten too far and I have difuesed it before other officers would even have to "jump" on the person.
I think it is funny though, because I tend to disagree with our department defensive tactics instructor relating to moves and techniques. He seems to think strength and brutality, while I think simple effective moves (such as Yubi Dori) or a joint lock works better.
They teach arm bars and goose necks, but I have yet to experience soeone combative where those are just the perfect thing to use.
Anyway, I rambled on enough. I would suggest that anyone with the means, find a Tenshin Aikido Dojo in your area and check it out. It is a very effective form of Aikido.
