Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an EOP of unknown age, voluntary mass notification with high opt-out rates, and recurring wildfire, flooding, and winter weather exposure. NIMS adoption and EOP maintenance are active compliance mandates, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An active hazard mitigation RFP and emergency communications agreements renewing October 1, 2026 create immediate, time-sensitive procurement windows, with a 120-day review requirement already in effect. The Emergency Management budget has increased, with $798k appropriated for EM and public safety, signaling funded intent aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Business auto insurance premiums have surged 111.3% cumulatively since 2019/2020, reaching $463,753 in 2024/2025, signaling an unresolved fleet safety gap. An active police vehicle replacement program and ongoing dash camera trials indicate awareness, but a comprehensive, integrated fleet safety solution remains incomplete.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 police vehicle replacement budget ($600k) creates a defined funding window and timeline to embed modern fleet safety capabilities at the point of procurement. Acting within this cycle maximizes cost efficiency, supports insurance cost mitigation, and aligns with the county's active public safety investment priorities.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management Expansion & Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Bastrop County has an active endpoint management deployment and an ongoing 911 Communications equipment refresh, with the IT department budget growing 19.8% to $5.2 million for FY 2026–2027. Compliance mandates under Texas Government Code and FBI CJIS 6.0 require strengthened endpoint oversight, elevating risk if infrastructure gaps are not addressed alongside the refresh.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 IT budget increase and active equipment refresh create a funded, near-term window to expand and harden endpoint coverage. BJA grant programs eligible for cybersecurity and IT modernization initiatives may further offset local costs, aligning investment with compliance and operational continuity goals.

Discuss this project →Privileged Access Management for CJIS Compliance
Cybersecurity · Law Enforcement IT
High Priority
About this project
Texas Government Code and FBI CJIS Policy 6.0 impose non-discretionary requirements for robust password management and access controls across law enforcement systems. The Sheriff's Office is actively modernizing, and gaps in privileged access management create measurable compliance and data-security risk.
The opportunity
BJA grant programs for the current fiscal year provide identified funding pathways for cybersecurity and IT modernization with limited local match required. Acting within this grant window aligns procurement with an approved, increased IT budget and satisfies pending CJIS audit obligations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active commitment to WCAG 2.1 AA web accessibility standards, but existing compliance gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable access to digital services for residents. Unresolved gaps in public-facing content and documents elevate risk of complaints, remediation costs, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
Web accessibility compliance is a continuous mandate with no grace period, making each budget cycle an opportunity to reduce liability and improve resident-facing service delivery. The county's approved IT budget increase supports investment in accessibility tools aligned with current strategic digital initiatives.

Discuss this project →Investigative Technology License Renewal and Evaluation
Public Safety · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office holds a facial recognition license expiring March 31, 2027, creating a defined decision point for renewal or competitive replacement. Ongoing reorganization within the office signals readiness to evaluate whether current tools align with operational needs and public accountability standards.
The opportunity
The approaching expiration creates a near-term, structured window to assess investigative technology options before the current agreement lapses. With an approved FY 2026–2027 budget reflecting increased public safety appropriations, funding conditions are favorable for a deliberate, compliant procurement decision.
