Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, fragmented alert platforms, and documented public communication failures during recent weather emergencies. NIMS compliance and PIO certification mandates add regulatory pressure, elevating risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
An active county-level re-evaluation of emergency notification services, combined with funded NextGen 911 modernization initiatives, creates a timely window to consolidate systems and close compliance gaps. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in use, streamlining procurement and accelerating delivery within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps in password security and endpoint management, creating measurable exposure to credential-based threats and unauthorized access. With IT modernization and cybersecurity-compliant governance listed as active strategic priorities, unaddressed gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across public safety systems.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program provides a direct funding path for law enforcement technology, information systems, and endpoint and credential management. Acting within the current grant window and FY2027 budget cycle — with $320,131 in dedicated IT spending — positions the department to close critical security gaps while maximizing eligible funding and reducing long-term risk.

Discuss this project →Body & Fleet Camera System Replacement
Public Safety Technology · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The incumbent body and fleet camera contract expires in October 2026, creating a compressed, time-bound procurement window for replacement or renewal. A recently terminated license plate recognition agreement due to public concerns has heightened political scrutiny around public safety technology decisions, raising the stakes for a transparent, community-trusted procurement process.
The opportunity
The October 2026 contract deadline, active budget hearings, and a recent City Manager transition create a narrow window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and increasing public safety budget allocations support a funded path forward.

Public Safety · Technology Procurement
High Priority
About this project
A terminated license plate recognition agreement has created a capability gap in public safety operations, alongside heightened community scrutiny around surveillance technology deployment. Responsible re-procurement is now a political and operational priority requiring a transparent, accountable approach.
The opportunity
The department's established use of cooperative purchasing contracts offers a faster, compliant procurement path during an active decision window. Addressing this gap now restores public safety capability while demonstrating responsible stewardship of community trust and public funds.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Lifecycle Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A prior fatal police vehicle crash and unverified telematics coverage have exposed gaps in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and maintenance oversight. Fluctuating vehicle maintenance and fuel costs signal lifecycle inefficiencies that elevate both operational and fiscal risk for the department.
The opportunity
Police vehicle and equipment lifecycle support is an active, funded strategic initiative, and the department's rising maintenance budget creates a clear case for action in the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing contracts are available to streamline procurement and accelerate deployment without a lengthy bid process.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing websites and digital portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by 2028, creating a defined regulatory deadline with legal exposure and resident access risk if remediation is not staged and resourced in advance. Departments that delay scoping risk compressed timelines, higher remediation costs, and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline requires near-term scoping and budgeting to meet staged milestones, and the current IT budget growth supports investment in accessibility remediation. Acting within the upcoming fiscal cycle allows the municipality to sequence work manageably, reduce legal risk, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
