Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a current, publicly accessible Emergency Operations Plan and has documented gaps in NIMS compliance and HSEEP-style exercise documentation. These deficiencies elevate regulatory and operational risk, leaving the agency exposed during real-world incidents and formal compliance reviews.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes approved increases in technology and communications spending, creating an immediate, funded window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns with active strategic initiatives, supports compliance documentation requirements, and strengthens community protection outcomes ahead of the next budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Integration & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The county currently relies on a third-party platform for mass notification without direct departmental ownership or seamless integration, creating critical gaps in emergency response capability. This lack of control elevates operational risk during incidents and conflicts with emergency-management plan and compliance documentation requirements.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a 20.81% increase in communications spending and approved capital allocations, creating an immediate, funded window to act. Modernizing mass notification ownership and integration now directly advances the county's approved emergency communications infrastructure initiative and strengthens public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a mixed-age fleet with no dash cams or telematics systems in place, creating a documented gap in safety oversight and risk management. A 31.2% increase in commercial insurance costs signals mounting fleet-related financial pressure, and apparatus modernization is an active, board-recognized strategic priority.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes capital spending allocations that support this initiative, and cooperative purchasing memberships are in place to streamline procurement. Acting within this budget cycle reduces insurance exposure, strengthens apparatus accountability, and advances an already-approved strategic modernization goal.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028, and remediation is already underway as an active, budget-approved initiative. Incomplete compliance exposes the department to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable access to services for all residents.
The opportunity
With the initiative budget-approved and active in the current fiscal cycle, procurement can advance now ahead of the 2028 deadline, avoiding costly last-minute remediation. Early action ensures equitable public access, reduces compliance risk, and aligns with existing technology budget allocations.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & Identity Cybersecurity Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's Microsoft 365 environment and ongoing network modernization efforts signal unaddressed gaps in endpoint management and identity/credential security. Without structured controls, these gaps expose critical public safety infrastructure to unauthorized access and operational disruption.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes approved technology spending, and purchases under $100,000 can be executed via informal quote—reducing procurement friction and enabling timely action. Addressing endpoint and identity security now protects operational continuity and aligns with the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Logistics Building IT & Network Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A new logistics facility requires a corresponding buildout of network, radio, and IT systems, presenting a greenfield opportunity to establish modern, standards-aligned infrastructure from the ground up. Without a coordinated technology plan, the department risks deploying fragmented systems that increase long-term operational and maintenance costs.
The opportunity
This project is budget-approved and tied to active construction timelines, creating a defined procurement window within the FY2027 capital spending cycle. Acting now ensures technology infrastructure is integrated during construction rather than retrofitted, reducing cost and operational disruption.
