It would be a mistake for Syracuse to outsource animal cruelty investigations (Your Letters)

When services are outsourced, the gains must outweigh the losses. In this case, they would not.
What’s to lose? Community policing. Syracuse Police Chief Kenton Buckner and Mayor Ben Walsh promote it as the pathway to improved public safety and quality of life for residents. Why then would they outsource a model program of community policing?
