The Terminal is a police officer tool in 112 Operator, that can be placed in either the left or right tool slot (but not both). It costs €3,000 to purchase as part of a gear set for police officers.
The Terminal increases an officer's Suspects skill by +0.5 (also known as the "Criminals" skill - they are one and the same). This speeds up the officer's work when interrogating witnesses and issuing fines to offenders (no other policework affected). Note that the base Suspects skill for a rookie officer is just 1.0, so such an officer will work 50% faster with the Terminal when resolving the relevant issues. The bonus is less keenly felt for more experienced officers, whose Suspects skill is already much higher to boot.
For €3,000, this single piece of equipment can really speed things up earlier on, when most of your crew is made up of Rookies. As the Rookies gain experience, you can gradually pass the Terminals to your newest recruits to avoid buying new terminals.
With the Facilities DLC, the Police Laptop and Tactical Vest both provide a higher Suspects bonus; but they do not necessarily replace the Terminal, since the the bonus is additive. A Terminal equipped together with a Police Laptop and Tactical Vest would make a rookie work 250% faster than normal when solving relevant incidents. However, note that an officer's Suspects skill can never exceed 4.0, so adding this much equipment to a veteran officer can be wasteful. If you exceed 4.0, the Terminal is the item you'll want to remove from the gear set.
