This is a typical radio dispatcher's position. From left to right: the telephone control console and 911 display, the Motorola 800 MHz trunked radio "last unit broadcast" display, the CAD status screen, the CAD working screen, the Motorola radio control screen. Just below the radio control screen is a speaker for radio when the dispatcher's headset is plugged into the phone system.
Notice that the radio control screen has a keyboard that is out of the way and not used. Instead, it's controlled by the trackball near the dispatcher's left hand. The center button above the trackball is the "transmit" button, but there is also a foot pedal for the same function.
