Fleet Safety Telematics & Vehicle Camera Deployment
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A January 2024 patrol car crash resulting in officer injury exposed critical roadside and stopped-vehicle safety gaps across the city fleet. The City's formal adoption of a Vehicle Camera and Telematics Policy in February 2026 establishes a clear mandate to deploy in-vehicle cameras and telematics citywide.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide explicit funding paths for fleet safety technology, and an April 2026 FY27 budget discussion creates a near-term window to finalize procurement. Acting now aligns with approved policy, reduces officer safety risk, and maximizes available grant coverage.
CJIS Security Policy 6.0 Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandatory CJIS Security Policy 6.0 deadline of July 1, 2026, requiring implementation of multi-factor authentication and data encryption across systems handling criminal justice information. Failure to comply risks loss of access to critical law enforcement data systems, exposing the agency to operational and legal liability.
The opportunity
The July 2026 deadline makes this a non-discretionary priority with a defined action window. JAG and COPS TEP grant funding is applicable to information systems and equipment, reducing reliance on general fund dollars and aligning with current FY planning cycles.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified compliance obligations under WCAG 2.0 A and AA standards, with federal mandates now trending toward WCAG 2.1, and no evidence of a fully compliant public-facing digital presence. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to public services for residents.
The opportunity
An upcoming FY27 budget discussion in April 2026 and ongoing federal accessibility mandates create a near-term window to fund and advance this initiative. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, improves public service equity, and positions the entity ahead of evolving WCAG 2.1 requirements.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented mass notification system, and local emergency management staffing and coordination gaps create measurable preparedness risk. Compliance with NIMS and the Michigan Emergency Management Act remains unresolved, elevating liability during a period of transitional county leadership.
The opportunity
Recent EMPG funding activity and an active regional EOC grant signal available pathways to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. New emergency management leadership in March 2026 creates a timely window to advance adoption decisions ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
IT Endpoint Visibility and CJIS Compliance Readiness
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Gaps in endpoint visibility, patching, and remote monitoring create audit and operational risk for city IT infrastructure. CJIS Security Policy 6.0 mandates—including MFA and data encryption—carry a July 2026 deadline, making auditable, managed IT systems an immediate compliance requirement.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines explicitly cover equipment and information systems, providing a viable funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to meet CJIS mandates, reduce breach exposure, and align procurement with upcoming FY27 budget planning.
