Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a hard April 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across web and digital services, with significant federal ADA penalties for non-compliance. Gaps in accessible documents and digital content put residents—including those with disabilities—at risk of unequal access to public services.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget adoption in September 2026 creates a near-term funding window to act before the compliance deadline. Addressing accessibility now reduces federal penalty exposure, advances digital equity, and leverages existing software investments already in place.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including an EOP of unknown age and review status, unresolved winter storm after-action findings, and fragmented regional coordination—each elevating grant eligibility and compliance risk. Without structured version control and plan governance, operational continuity and community resilience remain vulnerable.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget cycle, with adoption expected in September 2026, includes planned public safety technology spending, and the BJA JAG Program deadline in October 2026 creates a near-term funding window. Subawards through HSGP and EMPG remain accessible, and leadership transitions present a timely opening to advance preparedness initiatives and close compliance gaps.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active AVL trial has experienced technical issues with unconfirmed continuity, leaving fleet visibility and driver-behavior monitoring gaps across emergency-response vehicles. Only one EMS unit has a 360-degree camera, exposing the department to operational and liability risk across its broader fleet.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget cycle and available cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined path to close this gap before the procurement window closes. Resolving fleet visibility deficiencies now reduces emergency-response liability and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented IT ecosystem across multiple endpoint and monitoring tools, creating operational inefficiencies and measurable security gaps. A Texas cybersecurity incident reporting mandate adds compliance urgency, while active initiatives including a Microsoft 365 renewal and ISO evaluation onboarding are surfacing additional IT management needs.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget adoption in September 2026 is the primary fiscal window for consolidation investment, and BJA JAG Program funding and HSGP/EMPG subawards are identified as eligible sources for cybersecurity and IT management tools. Acting now reduces overhead, strengthens security posture, and positions the department ahead of compliance and budget deadlines.

Discuss this project →Credential Security Gap Remediation for Public Safety
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No credential management solution has been identified in the department's current technology stack, leaving a direct and unmitigated security gap. Texas cybersecurity incident reporting mandates and a fragmented IT environment further elevate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive public safety systems.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program (October 2026 deadline) and potential HSGP/EMPG subawards offer viable funding pathways, and the September 2026 budget adoption window creates a near-term planning opportunity to close this gap before compliance exposure increases.
