EOP Modernization and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, and its current mass notification capabilities lack transparency and resilience—gaps exposed by recent severe weather events. NIMS compliance mandates and the formation of the Northwest Wexford Emergency Authority (NWEA) are driving urgent re-evaluation of consolidated emergency management systems.
The opportunity
The NWEA consolidation creates a near-term centralized procurement window, and the Hazard Mitigation Plan explicitly prioritizes mass notification resilience. Homeland Security Grant Program funding is available for emergency communications, aligning this initiative with both the current grant cycle and fiscal planning.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active grant requirements mandate deployment of EDR/MDR/XDR solutions, managed security services, staff training, and CISA Cyber Hygiene compliance, yet the current security posture remains incomplete. Fragmented IT procurement and gaps in unified endpoint management leave public safety operations and sensitive data exposed to escalating cyber risk.
The opportunity
A confirmed $184,361 cybersecurity grant award with a defined 2025–2027 spending window creates an immediate, funded pathway to close critical security gaps. Acting within this cycle ensures compliance, reduces operational risk, and maximizes stewardship of public dollars before the window closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital content, including PDFs and HTML pages, must meet WCAG accessibility standards by April 26, 2027, under federal mandate. Failure to comply creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The defined 2027 deadline provides a clear planning horizon to scope and fund remediation within the current or upcoming fiscal cycle. Proactively addressing compliance reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and can be structured as a manageable, lower-complexity initiative eligible for state or federal accessibility funding.
Radio Console & Dispatch Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A five-year radio console dispatch refresh (~$98K) has been approved, coinciding with the consolidation of fire services into the Northwest Wexford Emergency Authority (NWEA) and the cessation of EMS operations. This reorganization is driving a broad re-evaluation of shared IT and public safety infrastructure, creating compliance and continuity risk if systems are not aligned to the new authority's operational structure.
The opportunity
The NWEA consolidation is centralizing purchasing decisions now, creating a time-sensitive window to modernize dispatch and IT infrastructure under a unified governance model. Active capital budgets, cooperative procurement pathways, and available grant funding for emergency communications make this an ideal moment to address operational gaps and strengthen public safety outcomes.
