Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bastrop PD recorded 12 vehicle accidents in 2025—a 200% increase over 2024—with seven identified as preventable, driving unsustainable repair and replacement costs. A budget-approved telematics initiative is underway to reduce incidents, improve driver accountability, and stabilize the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program offers a direct funding match for resilient surface transportation and fleet telematics, and upcoming September 2026 budget hearings create a near-term decision window. Acting now reduces preventable crashes, lowers long-term fleet costs, and aligns with approved FY priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP version and review status, a voluntary-only mass notification system with coverage gaps, and reliance on county dispatch for high-consequence incidents. An active compliance mandate requiring a formal emergency management plan elevates both regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
The automatic renewal of the city's emergency communications agreement in October 2026 creates a defined decision window to consolidate or modernize platforms. With a projected budget surplus and state and federal funding pathways available, this fiscal cycle is the right moment to close compliance gaps and strengthen community-wide emergency readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification system operates on a voluntary opt-in basis through a county-managed platform, creating significant resident and staff coverage gaps and limiting direct municipal control. This reliance on a third-party county system has been flagged as a preparedness vulnerability, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The emergency communications agreement renewal on October 1, 2026, provides a natural milestone to consolidate or upgrade notification capabilities, aligning with the current fiscal cycle and an active regional mass-notification strategic priority. Addressing coverage gaps now strengthens public safety outcomes and supports compliance with emergency management plan mandates.

Discuss this project →Police Department CJIS Compliance & IT Security Modernization
Cybersecurity & Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department operates under active FBI CJIS Security Policy (v5.9.5) obligations with a hard compliance deadline of March 31, 2027, and must also prepare for a forthcoming v6.1 audit. A confirmed city-wide technology replacement and security modernization initiative is underway, with $50,000 in security upgrades budgeted and increased capital outlay for network hardware, firewalls, and Mobile Data Terminals.
The opportunity
The March 2027 CJIS deadline and September 2026 budget hearings create a defined window to advance identity, endpoint, and vulnerability management investments with active spending authority in place. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG and BJA FY 2026 Crime Gun Intelligence Center Integration Initiative offer eligible funding pathways, reducing reliance on general fund dollars.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively pursuing integration between its computer-aided dispatch and records management systems to reduce operational gaps and improve data continuity. Current reliance on county dispatch for 24/7 coverage creates connectivity risks, and CJIS compliance requirements add urgency to modernizing these interconnected systems.
The opportunity
A projected FY 2026–27 fiscal surplus provides near-term budget capacity, and alignment with an active CJIS modernization effort may support bundled procurement within the upcoming budget cycle. Acting now positions the department to improve operational resilience, meet compliance timelines, and strengthen public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →City Website Redesign & Web Accessibility Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's official website redesign is an active strategic initiative, with identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across public-facing digital properties. Without remediation, residents—including those with disabilities—face barriers to essential services, and the city carries ongoing accessibility risk.
The opportunity
A projected FY 2026–27 budget surplus creates fiscal capacity to advance this initiative alongside other priorities. Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal and operational exposure while improving equitable public access to city services.
