Fleet Dashcam & GPS Procurement for Judicial Circuit
Fleet Safety & Oversight · Justice & Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The 17th Judicial Circuit has issued an active RFP for fleet dashcams and GPS tracking, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 15, 2026 and bids due April 22, 2026. This time-bound procurement requires formal process compliance and presents an immediate operational window for fleet visibility and accountability improvements.
The opportunity
With a hard bid deadline of April 22, 2026, the procurement window is narrow and action is required now to meet formal process requirements. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is a potential funding source, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may be leveraged to streamline acquisition and steward public funds efficiently.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The circuit's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately six years old, lacks court-wide consolidation, and carries identified mass-notification registration gaps. Compliance mandates under NIMS/EOP and Michigan Publication 201 elevate operational and legal risk for staff, residents, and court operations.
The opportunity
Grant windows through July 2026 — including HSGP and BRIC — offer near-term funding to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. A recent Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator hire signals internal readiness to act, making this an ideal moment to advance compliance and strengthen court-wide emergency response.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance Upgrade
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The circuit's public-facing website requires WCAG 2.1 upgrades to meet ADA and accommodations mandates, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to digital services. Website and Digital Services improvement is a stated priority in the 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, with an existing infrastructure baseline in place to support remediation.
The opportunity
ADA compliance gaps carry growing legal and reputational risk, and alignment with the current strategic plan creates institutional momentum for action within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Remediation efforts may be eligible for state or federal accessibility funding, and addressing gaps now supports equitable public access and reduces liability exposure.

Discuss this project →IT & Cybersecurity Modernization Through 2028
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The 2025–2028 Strategic Plan formally prioritizes IT and cybersecurity improvements, but a split ecosystem between court-specific systems and county IT creates consolidation gaps and uneven security coverage. Without current IT spend data, scoping and budget alignment remain early-stage risks to execution.
The opportunity
The Technology Enhancement Program (TEP) grant has been identified as a potential funding pathway, and the multi-year planning horizon through 2028 provides a defined window for phased investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the organization to align modernization efforts with both strategic mandates and available grant timelines.
Courthouse Security & Emergency Preparedness Enhancement
Court Facility Security · Emergency Preparedness
High Priority
About this project
The 2025–2028 Strategic Plan identifies courthouse security and emergency preparedness as an explicit institutional priority, yet the facility lacks a current, consolidated emergency operations plan. This gap elevates operational and life-safety risk for court staff, the public, and continuity of judicial services.
The opportunity
Preparedness-focused grant cycles, including HSGP and BRIC with July 2026 deadlines, may fund eligible security and emergency preparedness investments. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns with strategic commitments, supports compliance with emergency management mandates, and positions the institution to secure available funding.
