They are the mobile computer terminals in the cars. aka MDT .
The officers can run lien checks on people, fill out reports, talk to other officers on them, pull up records, dispatch calls, ect. When a car is dispatched to a call the call is on the screen. There are buttons they can press such as in-route, on-sence, in-service and such. Some officers use it all the time talking very little on radio. Important calls always go over both MDT and radios. You can goggle for "Police MDT" for more info.
