Emergency Operations Plan Update & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dallas PD's Master Emergency Operations Plan is more than five years overdue, and no HSEEP exercises have been documented, creating significant compliance and operational risk. The existing opt-in mass notification system has a structural coverage gap that limits public reach during critical incidents.
The opportunity
New leadership is actively prioritizing technology modernization, and federal public safety grants signal strong funding availability in the current cycle. Addressing the overdue EOP and notification gaps now reduces liability exposure, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current opt-in mass notification system has a structural coverage gap that limits reliable outreach to staff and residents during emergencies. This deficiency, flagged alongside an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, elevates operational and public safety risk for the department.
The opportunity
Federal public safety grants and a significantly increased department technology budget create a timely funding pathway for this modernization. Acting now aligns with the new Police Chief's technology priorities and addresses a documented emergency preparedness gap before the next budget cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has experienced a pattern of patrol-vehicle accidents resulting in fatalities, officer injuries, and liability settlements, signaling urgent fleet safety gaps. An existing AVL system presents integration opportunities, and new leadership has prioritized fleet technology modernization as an immediate operational focus.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program is a strong funding match for fleet safety initiatives, reducing the local budget burden. New leadership priorities and active liability exposure create a near-term window to advance this project within the current fiscal and grant cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Controls & IT Monitoring Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity controls are under active implementation pressure, driven by a new CISO appointment and compliance mandates requiring cloud-based monitoring modernization. Gaps in identity governance and security visibility elevate operational and public-safety risk across the department's existing cloud-native environment.
The opportunity
New leadership signals an open window for strategic technology evaluation, and multiple federal grant programs are available to fund cybersecurity initiatives with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with budget planning and reduces compliance exposure.
COPS Technology and Equipment
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a firm 2027 deadline, requiring remediation of digital accessibility gaps across public-facing portals and documents. Unaddressed gaps elevate legal exposure and limit equitable public access to critical government services.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline enables phased project planning within current and upcoming fiscal cycles, reducing cost pressure while managing compliance risk incrementally. Acting now opens access to eligible funding pathways and positions the department ahead of enforcement exposure.
CAD/RMS System Modernization for Public Safety Operations
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active CAD/RMS replacement initiative is underway, representing a critical overhaul of core public safety infrastructure. Aging systems create operational risk for dispatch, records management, and interoperability, with dedicated technology modernization funding already allocated for this transition.
The opportunity
Budget is confirmed and finalization is imminent, making this a time-sensitive window to advance procurement and avoid operational gaps. Federal grants for public safety technology and cooperative purchasing agreements are available, reducing local cost burden and accelerating deployment timelines.
