Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, with no documented EOP reviews or HSEEP-style exercises on record. NIMS adoption is required for federal funding eligibility, and an April 2026 dispatch center consolidation amplifies the urgency for a coordinated emergency management framework.
The opportunity
Active grant programs aligned to hazard mitigation and resilience planning are available now, with NIMS compliance serving as a direct funding eligibility requirement. Addressing preparedness gaps during the current leadership transition positions the department to secure funding and reduce operational and public safety risk.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's current mass notification system represents a legacy gap that limits timely, reliable communication with staff and residents during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a publicly available EOP and no documented review or exercises, the township faces elevated operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding aligned with emergency preparedness and mass notification modernization is available within the current cycle, with limited local match requirements. Acting now addresses active compliance mandates, closes critical communication gaps, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal planning window.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol car crash resulting in officer injury and public release of dashcam footage has exposed the department's lack of a formal telematics or driver safety monitoring program. Without structured oversight, the agency faces continued safety risk, liability exposure, and growing public accountability pressure.
The opportunity
Executive and public urgency following the incident, combined with increased public safety budget allocations and applicable federal grant programs, creates a clear funding pathway for near-term action. Addressing this now reduces operational risk, supports officer safety, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public trust.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively remediating WCAG and ADA compliance gaps across public-facing digital assets, with a specific focus on PDF forms. Unresolved accessibility barriers create legal exposure and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Compliance work is already underway, signaling a near-term procurement window aligned with the current operational cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may qualify for state or federal funding tied to digital equity initiatives.
