Emergency Operations Plan Review & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Angelina County EOP covering Diboll has not been formally revised since November 2020, exceeding the required 5-year update cycle. The absence of Diboll-specific exercises, audits, and documented communication protocols compounds NIMS compliance gaps and elevates operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026–2027 budget explicitly funds an emergency-preparedness and public-safety equipment support program, with a budget adoption date of September 8, 2026 creating a near-term decision window. Addressing the EOP gap now aligns with active funding priorities and reduces compliance and response-readiness risk ahead of the next review cycle.

Cybersecurity & IT Modernization · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A hard CJIS security policy deadline of October 1, 2027 requires measurable cybersecurity improvements in password and endpoint management, while a recent Windows 11 migration—driven by a cybersecurity liability agreement—signals ongoing vulnerability exposure. With $111,640 in annual IT spend and cybersecurity explicitly prioritized in the proposed FY2026–2027 budget, the city faces both compliance and operational risk if gaps are not addressed before the budget adoption deadline.
The opportunity
The September 8, 2026 budget adoption date creates an immediate window to secure funding for cybersecurity and network resilience improvements. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a strong, direct funding match, and cooperative purchasing membership further streamlines procurement to protect public systems and meet CJIS compliance on time.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Police fleet insurance costs rose 38% in FY2024-2025, and repair expenditures exceeded $41,500 in FY2025-2026, signaling escalating financial risk. Without a documented telematics solution, the department lacks objective data for collision prevention, driver accountability, and evidence collection.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026-2027 budget includes a significant increase for the Police Department, creating a near-term funding window for fleet safety investment. Addressing this gap now reduces insurance liability, supports officer safety, and may qualify for indirect federal community facilities funding with further review.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. With a compliance deadline of April 2028, a structured remediation plan is needed to close identified gaps before enforcement risk escalates.
The opportunity
Beginning remediation now allows the city to phase work across upcoming fiscal cycles, avoiding a costly last-minute overhaul and reducing legal liability. Early planning aligns with FY2026–2027 budget adoption and may qualify for state or federal digital equity funding support.
Post-Migration Endpoint Management & Cybersecurity Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Following a May 2026 Windows 11 migration driven by a cybersecurity liability agreement, the city faces an immediate need to strengthen endpoint visibility and systems management across its growing infrastructure. Without robust monitoring in place, the post-migration environment carries elevated operational and security risk for municipal staff and public services.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026-2027 budget—with an explicit cybersecurity and network-resilience priority and a significant Police Department funding increase—creates a favorable window to act before budget adoption. The BJA JAG Program offers a direct federal funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing membership further reduces procurement barriers.
