I think that really depends on the community.  Where I live, the cops are chill, they engage with the community, people trust them and there's little to no trouble.  I do, however, live in one of the safest cities in Canada, and we don't have many problems with drugs or violent crime. 

Naive young me was shocked with how differently the cops act and treat people in the GTA (especially in Peel region).

Yeah I should have been more specific. There are certain communities cops don't see themselves as a part of. Hell one of the big problems with policing in US cities is the number of cops who don't actually live in the places they work; in New York for example, 51% of uniformed NYPD officers live outside the city. I have a feeling you'd see a similar figure in a place like Toronto.
