Do you believe equipment upgrades in your workplace prioritize employee comfort as much as function?
Setina has released a new line of police vehicle consoles designed to enhance equipment functionality and cabin ergonomics. The systems feature aircraft-grade aluminum and include a patent-pending built-in printer for full-size paper.
Why it matters
The new design responds to customer requests for better workspace efficiency in patrol vehicles. By integrating hardware directly into the console, the system saves valuable cabin space while providing clearance for radio modules and amplifiers.
The console system utilizes a deep body configuration to provide clearance for bulky equipment and features an integrated no-holes-drilled mounting process. It is compatible with standard laptop mounts, keyboards, and the SmartBelt electronic seat belt system.

Setina
Setina is a manufacturer of specialized police vehicle equipment that has operated since developing its first partition in the 1960s.

Legal Context
This launch follows the pattern set by the historical evolution of police vehicle equipment starting in the 1960s. The industry has increasingly focused on optimizing small cabin spaces as vehicle complexity has grown over the last 50 years.
The introduction of optimized consoles may improve the efficiency of local law enforcement officers during daily operations. These ergonomic improvements ensure that critical communication and printing equipment remain accessible to officers while on patrol.

Advancements in cabin ergonomics help law enforcement officers manage increasingly complex digital and electronic equipment. These modular systems reflect a broader industry trend toward maximizing limited workspace in modern patrol vehicles.
