Mobile Data Terminals (MDT)
VCU police cars are equipped with a computer system called a Mobile Data Terminal, or MDT. These computers are loaded with the Microsoft Windows™ operating system as well as various other software. These systems are operated by VCU Police officers who are each certified to access VCIN, the Virginia Criminal Information Network.


A Wealth of Information
Officers using this system can obtain information about vehicle ownership, an operator's license, stolen property, or see if someone is wanted. These computers also allow officers to pull up maps or communicate with other officers with MDT-equipped cars. Software upgrades allow the system to be expanded to perform other functions in the future.
