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.

I think you would find a lot of Vancouver police don't live in the city, simply because they can't afford it with an average home price of 1.3 million. No doubt New York is for the same reasons.
