Modernize Emergency Management Plan and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Management Plan is outdated or undocumented, and the current mass notification system relies on outdoor sirens that fail to alert residents indoors. An active notification contract is expiring in 2025, and unresolved hazard mitigation grant status compounds preparedness and resilience risk.
The opportunity
The 2025 contract expiration creates a defined procurement window aligned with FY2026–27 budget planning, and the Homeland Security Grant Program offers a viable funding path with limited local match. Acting now supports compliance with state emergency management mandates and strengthens community-wide response readiness.
Strengthen Citywide Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active Texas cybersecurity compliance obligations alongside foundational gaps in identity management and network perimeter controls, including an ongoing firewall replacement initiative. Without structured improvements to password policy enforcement and network security, the city remains exposed to operational disruption and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly funds cybersecurity and IT enhancements, offering a viable path with limited local match. Recent budget amendments and capital requests confirm active appropriations, and FY2026–27 planning creates a near-term window to advance procurement and close compliance gaps.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing digital portals by 2028, a firm federal mandate. Failure to meet this deadline exposes the city to legal liability, reputational harm, and inequitable access to services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 budget cycle is the optimal planning window to assess gaps, scope remediation, and execute procurement before the 2028 deadline. Acting now allows the city to phase costs responsibly, leverage cooperative purchasing agreements, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising auto liability premiums and accelerated vehicle wear are straining the city's budget, with no documented fleetwide telematics or dash-camera program in place. This visibility gap increases liability exposure and limits the city's ability to manage operational risk and asset lifecycle costs.
The opportunity
Recent budget amendments include vehicle and equipment appropriations, and existing GIS infrastructure supports fleet mapping integration — creating a timely, capital-aligned entry point. Addressing fleet visibility now can reduce long-term insurance costs, extend asset life, and strengthen stewardship of public transportation resources.
City of Fort Worth Cooperative
Discuss this project →Public Safety Personnel Testing Software Renewal
Public Safety · Workforce Readiness
High Priority
About this project
The city's public safety personnel testing and dispatch readiness software license has expired or is imminently expiring, creating a direct gap in hiring and qualification workflows. Without a replacement, dispatch staffing pipelines and personnel readiness assessments face immediate operational disruption.
The opportunity
FY2026–27 budget planning is actively underway, and the city has confirmed a $170,340 allocation toward public safety technology — providing a clear funding pathway for timely procurement. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline acquisition and reduce time to resolution.
Drone as First Responder Program Launch
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active strategic initiative to deploy a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program aimed at improving emergency response times and situational awareness. Existing preparedness gaps—including an outdated Emergency Management Plan and mass notification limitations—elevate operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Budget allocation is already in motion and HSGP funding provides a viable path to offset program costs, making the current fiscal cycle an optimal window to act. Advancing this initiative now strengthens emergency response capacity, supports compliance with state emergency management mandates, and aligns with the city's broader public safety agenda.
