Mobile Data Terminal Traffic. On November 21, 2012, the Office of Inspector General initiated its ninth annual audit of the Department’s use of Mobile Data Terminals (MDT). The purpose was to examine the content of car-to-car message transmissions and ensure that user-generated messages do not violate Department policy, local and/or federal laws. The auditor reviewed the content of MDT data logs and user generated messages.
