Modernizing Emergency Dispatch and AI Call Answering
Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
FY2026 budget allocations for AI call answering and software applications signal active procurement readiness, while gaps in EOP review status, mass notification lifecycle, and exercise documentation elevate compliance and operational risk. NIMS and state EOP mandates, alongside 911 telecommunicator training requirements, create compounding urgency for modernization.
The opportunity
Adopted budget line items provide immediate funding alignment for emergency management software and AI-assisted dispatch, reducing the need for supplemental appropriations. Homeland Security and infrastructure resilience grant programs offer additional cost-sharing pathways, making this an optimal window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen public safety outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification platform carries unknown contract and end-of-life status, creating continuity and lifecycle risk for public alerting. Compounding this, an unconfirmed EOP review date and absent public exercise records leave the agency out of step with NIMS and state emergency preparedness requirements.
The opportunity
Uncertain platform status may force a procurement decision within the current or next fiscal cycle, making proactive planning essential. Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC funding align directly with mass notification and preparedness investments, and the FY2026 budget already reflects active software allocations—reducing barriers to action and supporting a timely, compliant transition.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An unconfirmed EOP review date and absent public exercise records represent critical preparedness gaps for this dispatch authority. NIMS and state mandates require current, exercised EOPs, creating compounding regulatory and operational risk to emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs directly support EOP compliance and related planning tools, offering a funded path with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle and FY2026 budget window positions the authority to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience.
County-Wide Public Alerting System Standardization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has identified selection of a common public alerting system as a formal strategic initiative, signaling an active or imminent evaluation process. Current mass notification coverage gaps, an unconfirmed EOP review status, and NIMS compliance requirements elevate operational and public safety risk across the county.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget includes funded software allocations, and grants such as HSGP align directly with public alerting and emergency preparedness investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports procurement efficiency, strengthens countywide alert standardization, and advances compliance with state emergency management requirements.

Discuss this project →Countywide Radio System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A countywide simulcast radio project is underway, driven by state compliance requirements for 911 operations and interoperability. Funded by voter-approved millage, the initiative creates critical integration needs across dispatch, CAD, and emergency management systems.
The opportunity
Dedicated millage funding provides a committed, low-risk budget source aligned with the current procurement cycle. Advancing integration with CAD, dispatch, and emergency management platforms now maximizes the public safety return on already-authorized capital and supports state compliance timelines.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint Management & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The authority's expanding use of cloud productivity tools and ongoing digital transformation initiatives—including CAD replacement—create growing cybersecurity and identity management exposure. Without modernized endpoint management, integration gaps across platforms elevate operational and compliance risk for critical public safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026 budget includes active software and IT funding, and JAG and COPS TEP grants offer additional pathways to support cybersecurity and endpoint modernization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the authority to reduce risk, strengthen operational continuity, and align procurement with available funding.
