Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Allegan lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and depends on county-run mass notification that has faced past scrutiny, while EMPG funding has been significantly reduced. NIMS implementation is federally mandated, and recent severe weather declarations underscore the compliance and operational risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines in July 2026 through HSGP and BRIC offer funded pathways with strong alignment to active FY budget planning and an existing state emergency declaration. Acting now positions the city to close critical preparedness gaps, satisfy federal compliance requirements, and reduce operational risk to the community.
APD Fleet Telematics and Dash Camera Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The APD fleet currently lacks telematics and dash cameras, creating documented gaps in incident recording, driver accountability, and claims defense despite substantial Motor Vehicle Pool expenditures. Without these tools, the department faces elevated financial and operational risk with limited ability to coach drivers or reconstruct incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget explicitly funds police equipment and the Motor Vehicle Pool, creating an approved, near-term funding pathway. A newly appointed Police Chief and active budget planning present a strong decision window to close safety gaps, reduce claims exposure, and advance fleet accountability before the fiscal cycle closes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Compliance mandates require secure handling of sensitive data including SSNs, yet no enterprise password management solution is in place despite an active Microsoft 365 environment. This capability gap elevates operational and regulatory risk across city departments, including the police department's broader IT modernization effort.
The opportunity
IT and cybersecurity modernization is budget-approved for FY2027, creating a clear funding window to close credential security gaps before the next fiscal cycle. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens data protection, and aligns with active procurement momentum already underway across city technology initiatives.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a lean IT and software budget with a meaningful share dedicated to emergency management and public safety technology, leaving limited margin for unplanned failures or security gaps. Active procurement activity and NIMS compliance requirements signal both readiness and urgency to modernize endpoint and infrastructure capabilities.
The opportunity
FY2026–27 budget planning is underway and an active RFP environment indicates a live procurement window aligned with near-term technology decisions. Cooperative purchasing options and potential eligibility for public safety and emergency management grants can reduce local cost burden while advancing mission-critical outcomes.
