Local Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Deckerville lacks a jurisdiction-specific Emergency Operations Plan, with no documented review cycle and reliance on county-level mass notification. Michigan Publication 201 EOP review requirements and NIMS adherence create formal compliance obligations that remain unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs provide direct funding paths for local emergency preparedness initiatives, and recent budget approvals signal an open spending window aligned with public safety priorities. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the jurisdiction to leverage available funding before the current cycle closes.
Local Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently depends on a county-operated mass notification system, limiting its ability to independently alert residents and staff during emergencies. This gap in local control creates operational risk and undermines the community's emergency communication readiness.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including HSGP, explicitly fund emergency communication equipment, creating a near-term funding pathway with limited local match. Establishing local notification capability now strengthens EOP compliance, improves incident response, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's WordPress-based public portal has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps affecting equitable access to government services. A federal mandate requires small governments to meet WCAG 2.1 standards by April 26, 2027, creating a legally binding remediation deadline.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline establishes clear procurement urgency, and recent budget adoption and state revenue sharing increases signal available funding within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now allows sufficient time for site and document-level remediation while reducing legal and compliance exposure.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public scrutiny over the fair-to-poor condition of the department's seven vehicles signals a visible and growing safety concern for officers and residents alike. Without a structured fleet management approach, operational reliability and officer safety remain at risk during active response.
The opportunity
The active Police Millage initiative and HSGP eligibility for law enforcement vehicle-related equipment create a timely funding pathway aligned with current fiscal activity. Acting within this window supports safer response operations, reduces liability exposure, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
