Emergency Operations Plan & Countywide Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dimmit County lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and a countywide mass-notification platform, leaving residents without timely alerts during severe weather events. Compliance mandates under Texas Gov Code §418.102 and NIMS require a formalized emergency management posture, and confirmed notification failures have already impacted constituent service delivery.
The opportunity
An LEPC grant award of $6,338 for emergency management equipment is already in hand, and the county's September 30 fiscal year-end creates a near-term budget checkpoint. Advancing this project now directly supports the 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan, closes critical compliance gaps, and strengthens public safety outcomes for county residents.

Web Accessibility · ADA & Section 508 Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028, and current gaps in ADA and Section 508 compliance across digital portals create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined planning window, and the county's September 30 fiscal year end is an immediate budget checkpoint for scoping and procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and ensures residents retain uninterrupted, equitable access to digital government services.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
An active ICE 287(g) agreement creates a binding compliance mandate for credential management and access control, while fragmented legacy public safety systems and ongoing 9-1-1 PSAP cybersecurity requirements expose the county to operational and regulatory risk. Unified identity and access management is needed to close these gaps and protect sensitive law enforcement data.
The opportunity
IT-related access control spending has already been discussed and approved, and the $350,000 Rural Law Enforcement Grant for FY2026 provides a direct funding pathway. Acting within the current budget cycle aligns compliance remediation with available resources and reduces audit and operational exposure.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented public safety software and decentralized IT oversight create cybersecurity compliance gaps and operational risk across county departments, including 9-1-1 PSAP services. A stated strategic initiative for IT modernization and an ongoing dispatch office remodel signal readiness to address unified endpoint and access control needs.
The opportunity
Approved IT-related spending and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined procurement path within the current fiscal cycle. Centralizing endpoint management now reduces cybersecurity exposure, supports compliance mandates, and strengthens the county's capacity to deliver reliable public safety services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively expanding its fleet—including law enforcement vehicles, ATVs, and pickups—with dedicated maintenance funding, yet no dash cameras or telematics systems are currently documented. This preventive safety gap increases liability exposure and limits visibility into vehicle operations and driver accountability.
The opportunity
An active fleet expansion and a funded Sheriff's Office vehicle maintenance initiative create a natural planning window to integrate telematics proactively. A PROTECT grant opportunity may offset costs when scoped as part of a broader public safety project, aligning with the county's FY budget cycle.
