Pacific Ergonomics builds solutions that keep police and fire personnel working safely and comfortably through long shifts. It also helps prevent chairs from being ruined as a result of sitting in them with duty belts.

We have the ideal solution that comes in different sizes.

Ergonomic Police Chair

Our ergonomic police chair is built around the duty belt. Standard chairs dig into an officer’s hips and force awkward entry and exit. This one solves that problem, with a seat pan sized to fit officers of different builds and enough clearance to sit and stand freely while wearing a full duty belt. It’s in use across military installations, dispatch centers, and police departments nationwide. Departments and agencies that use it include Coronado Fire Department, Maryland State Police, the City of San Diego Police Department, UCSD Police Department, Oceanside Police Department, Gurnee Police Department, Hanover Police, Nisswa Police Department, and South Lake Minnetonka Police.

Officers are comfortable, supported and the chairs last for a decade! Cost savings and benefits to day to day productivity are realized.

Other Solutions We Provide

• Training chairs built for comfort during long stretches of seated instruction
• Height-adjustable desks so dispatchers and admin staff can move between sitting and standing through a shift

Chairs and desks built for the job cut down on spine strain and lower the risk of musculoskeletal injury over time. For officers on their feet, lightweight, supportive footwear matters just as much, it cuts fatigue and helps prevent injury during long shifts or emergency response.

Beyond Furniture

A well-fitted, adjustable duty belt takes real pressure off the lower back. It should distribute weight evenly and keep tools within easy reach without pulling an officer’s posture out of alignment. Regular breaks to stretch the neck, shoulders, and lower back help counter the toll of sitting or standing in one position too long.

We also offer virtual ergonomic assessments to find where the risk is and fix it before it becomes an injury.

Body mechanics training matters too. Officers and firefighters who know how to lift and move correctly are less likely to get hurt on the job. Learn more about our ergonomic training programs.

Pacific Ergonomics works with police and fire departments to keep their people healthy, capable, and ready for the next call.
