Emergency Communications & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's mass notification contract is expiring on a legacy system with limited public enrollment, while the Emergency Operations Plan's review status remains undocumented and NIMS compliance is an ongoing mandate. Past flooding incidents, recent disaster declarations, and a prior cyberattack that forced system migration underscore the operational and resilience risks of delayed action.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant applications and a funded public safety infrastructure environment create a near-term window to modernize emergency communications with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community notification reach, and positions the department for sustained operational resilience.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks verified password-security controls and a confirmed endpoint and remote monitoring management solution, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. A newly approved Cybersecurity Technician role signals internal recognition of these gaps, but the security posture remains incomplete without foundational controls in place.
The opportunity
Grant programs covering criminal-justice information systems explicitly support password security and endpoint management tools, offering a clear funding pathway. With a dedicated cybersecurity role now approved and IT security a stated budget priority, this fiscal cycle presents an immediate window to close compliance gaps and reduce operational exposure.
JAG Local Formula
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Remediation & WCAG Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a clear WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance requirement with no remediation plan in place, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and restricting equitable public access to digital services. Without action, the gap continues to grow, increasing litigation risk and excluding residents who rely on accessible online resources.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines tied to WCAG standards create immediate time sensitivity, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline and accelerate procurement. Addressing this now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Fire Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Program
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Operations
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates a substantial and growing fleet—including aging apparatus and a newly acquired brush truck—with no established telematics or fleet safety audit program in place. This monitoring gap creates defensibility risk, limits maintenance visibility, and elevates operational exposure during emergency response.
The opportunity
Active fleet investment, including a new fire engine purchase, signals budget readiness and a natural entry point for telematics adoption. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining procurement and enabling faster implementation within the current budget cycle.
Public Safety Facility and Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A secured $2.45 million grant is funding a new Public Safety Building, Court facility, and fire engine acquisition, with active solicitations underway for police and fire communications equipment. Past flooding events have exposed critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, and gaps in emergency preparedness—including undocumented plan reviews and limited community notification enrollment—elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding is secured and procurement is already active, creating an immediate window aligned with the annual budget cycle to advance public safety outcomes. Addressing infrastructure gaps and emergency preparedness deficiencies now reduces operational risk, supports NIMS compliance, and positions the jurisdiction to leverage additional state and federal funding opportunities.
