The terminal that's mounted inside the car is known as a MDT, or Mobile Data Terminal. One or more frequncies allocated to the agency by the FCC will be used for data transfer. I've heard what sounds like data transfer on a frequency in the VHF range over a regular police scanner, but I don't know what kind of software you'd have to have to decode it.

I'm sure they aren't using the 802.** standard that regular wireless LANS use. I have a WLAN and live within a few blocks of the local Police Department. The only AP NetStumbler shows besides mine is a linksys, and I'm sure it's not theirs.
