Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Barry Township lacks a township-specific EOP, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and verified mass-notification coverage, creating explicit NIMS compliance exposure. These preparedness gaps elevate operational risk and jeopardize eligibility for emergency management grant funding.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance mandates and EOP review cycle deadlines create near-term urgency, while EMPG and HSGP grant programs offer strong funding alignment for eligible townships. Acting within the current grant window reduces regulatory risk and strengthens community preparedness outcomes.
Fleet Safety & In-Car Video Technology
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The confirmed absence of dashcam footage from a police cruiser has created immediate evidence capture gaps and elevated legal and reputational liability for the township. Without fleet safety technology in place, the department remains exposed during incidents where video documentation is critical to accountability and public trust.
The opportunity
Public accountability pressure and active liability risk make this an immediate priority. Grant funding paths — including JAG and COPS TEP — are relevant and accessible, and cooperative purchasing options can accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Barry Township's public-facing web portals have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, with a hard regulatory deadline of April 2026. Failure to remediate risks legal exposure, reduced public access to government services, and non-compliance with federal accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates a fixed, near-term window for action, and state budget signals indicate favorable conditions for web portal improvement funding. Addressing compliance now protects public access, reduces liability, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a centralized password management solution, creating unmitigated credential and identity access control vulnerabilities. With Microsoft 365 already in use, the absence of structured access governance elevates risk to public systems and sensitive data.
The opportunity
State-level public safety IT budget signals and available grant alignment support investment in cybersecurity infrastructure during the current fiscal cycle. Addressing credential management gaps now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance posture, and strengthens the township's overall IT security foundation.
