EOP Modernization and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office operates a 24/7 E911 Communications Center with an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, undocumented mass notification contract status, and no tested alert processes — gaps that conflict with TEMA EOP and NIMS compliance mandates. Recent disaster declarations amplify the operational and public safety risk of these unresolved deficiencies.
The opportunity
With FY 2026-27 budgets approved and active E911 software appropriations already in place, the timing is favorable to consolidate fragmented alert systems and close compliance gaps. Addressing these deficiencies now reduces liability, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current emergency management funding eligibility.

Emergency Communications · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office operates a 24/7 E911 Communications Center with active budget appropriations tied to software subscriptions, signaling near-term procurement readiness. Gaps in emergency preparedness—including unverified continuity plans and undocumented notification systems—elevate operational and compliance risk for continuous dispatch capability.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–27 budget includes dedicated E911 software line items, establishing a defined procurement window. Acting within this cycle ensures uninterrupted dispatch operations, addresses preparedness gaps, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles that can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent severe patrol-vehicle incident resulting in deputy injuries has exposed a critical gap in fleet oversight — verified dash-camera and telematics systems are absent, limiting incident reconstruction and driver monitoring. Budget volatility in vehicle insurance further compounds the financial and liability risk of continued inaction.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes significant road and fleet-related allocations, and the ATTAIN grant program explicitly covers fleet safety and vehicle tracking, offering a viable funding path. Acting now aligns with budget timing, reduces operational liability, and strengthens deputy safety and accountability.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
A CJIS mandate requires documented security operating procedures, including password and credential management, for law enforcement systems access. Non-compliance risks system discipline and loss of access, creating direct operational disruption for sworn staff and investigative functions.
The opportunity
The compliance deadline-driven nature of this requirement supports near-term prioritization within the current fiscal cycle. With a modest existing IT spend, state or federal cybersecurity grant funding may offset deployment costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement below formal bid thresholds.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office website does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating exposure to civil rights complaints and reputational risk. While no hard deadline has been identified, the compliance gap remains an operational liability and an equity concern for residents who rely on public-facing digital services.
The opportunity
With FY 2026-27 budgets approved and digital modernization efforts already under consideration, bundling accessibility remediation into a broader initiative is a cost-effective path forward. Addressing this proactively reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable public access before scrutiny escalates.
