One major problem with the NOS diagnosis: pretty much anyone can qualify for a diagnosis that, by definition, is not specified.

"It facilitates holistic crime prevention," Ratcliffe says. Rather than each department, or even squad, having its own databases, fusion centers allow access to multiple databases and sources of intelligence; the drug squad...
