While being the largest visible minority group in Toronto, Chinese people's perception of the police remains underresearched. This study dedicated its effort to contribute to this important aspect of policing in today's multicultural Toronto. Through surveying a sample of 101 Chinese Torontonians, this study found that Chinese people were generally satisfied with the police services in the metropolitan Toronto. However, they also specifically recommended that the police need to control their power to stop, search, and question people and their use of firearms more strictly. This study also tested the relationships between Chinese people's view of the police and a series of their demographic characteristics. Among the nine tested demographic factors, English proficiency turned out to be the only factor that significantly influenced people's attitudes towards the police. Those who spoke better English seemed to have more negative opinion of the police than Chinese who were less proficient in English.
