Emergency Operations Plan Development and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a visible, actionable Emergency Operations Plan, and recent state-declared emergencies have exposed significant operational gaps. Fragmented mass notification systems and general emergency management mandates compound the risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Regional emergency management funding activity, including a county-level CAD grant, signals an active funding environment that city leadership can align with during the current FY 2026–27 cycle. Incoming leadership transitions create a timely opening to advance preparedness initiatives and reduce operational and public safety exposure.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's mass notification system operates separately from its consolidated 9-1-1 dispatch infrastructure, creating communication gaps that can delay or limit emergency alerts to residents. This fragmented setup introduces reliability risks and operational inefficiencies at a time when regional emergency coordination demands are increasing.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget reflects a positive public safety funding environment, and regional 911 coordination efforts signal momentum for unified emergency communication investment. Consolidating now reduces operational risk, strengthens community alerting reliability, and positions the city to align with county-level emergency management initiatives and available grant funding.
Modernize Computer-Aided Dispatch for Regional 911 Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Livingston County has been awarded a USDA grant for a computer-aided dispatch system, with active regional 911 coordination underway. The city's current dispatch infrastructure and fragmented emergency notification systems create operational gaps and public safety exposure, particularly in light of recent state-declared emergencies.
The opportunity
A county-level USDA grant and regional 911 alignment create a funded, time-sensitive pathway for CAD modernization that the city can leverage. Acting within the current initiative window supports interoperability, strengthens emergency response outcomes, and aligns with an approved FY 2026–27 budget that prioritizes public safety investment.

Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A prior police-transport liability case and identified gaps in vehicle telematics and dash camera coverage have exposed the department to future incident documentation risk. Without systematic fleet oversight, the ability to reconstruct events, protect officers, and defend against liability claims remains limited.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–27 budget includes dedicated public safety allocations and funding for new police vehicles, creating a timely entry point for integrated telematics and in-vehicle recording. Acting within this budget cycle maximizes alignment with existing appropriations and strengthens accountability before the next incident occurs.
