Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks a formal emergency management plan and is required to implement NIMS to maintain eligibility for critical federal grants. A newly hired Emergency Management Coordinator signals leadership awareness of this gap, but the absence of a plan elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
EMPG funding has already been awarded, and additional grant programs—including HSGP and BRIC—offer near-term funding paths aligned to emergency management priorities. Acting within the current FY planning cycle and leadership transition window positions the department to close compliance gaps and strengthen community preparedness outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Safety
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, leaving pursuit-related collision risks unmitigated and exposing the agency to significant liability. The absence of any existing fleet management solution signals a first-time deployment need with direct implications for officer safety and public accountability.
The opportunity
The approved FY26-27 budget includes a meaningful Public Safety appropriation, and grants such as JAG and COPS TEP are explicitly aligned with fleet safety investments. Acting within this funding window—during a transitional leadership period—maximizes receptivity and positions the agency to reduce liability while advancing officer and community safety.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as a goal but has not yet achieved it, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. This gap poses ongoing risk to residents who rely on digital services and may trigger ADA-related liability if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning creates a timely window to fund and prioritize accessibility remediation before compliance risk escalates. Addressing this now supports equitable service delivery, reduces legal exposure, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle for structured investment.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed solutions for privileged credential management or IT endpoint oversight have been identified, indicating critical gaps in the department's security posture. Without these controls, public systems and sensitive data remain exposed to unauthorized access and operational disruption.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning and JAG grant eligibility create a timely funding path for cybersecurity investment with established cooperative purchasing available to streamline procurement. Addressing these gaps now reduces institutional risk and aligns with the department's stated commitment to modern, resilient technology infrastructure.
