EOP Development and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly verifiable general EOP and operates fragmented mass notification systems across multiple providers, creating critical coordination gaps during emergencies. An active compliance mandate requires an EOP update by November 2027, and the split notification ecosystem limits effectiveness when it matters most.
The opportunity
The November 2027 EOP deadline and the recently adopted FY2027 budget—reflecting a 9.6% increase in public safety funding ($5.15M)—create a clear window to act. Consolidating emergency management systems now strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance requirements, and aligns with current leadership's strategic public safety priorities.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an active CJIS 5.9.5/6.1 compliance mandate with a March 2027 deadline and no current password security plan in place. This gap exposes criminal justice information systems to significant regulatory penalties and security risk, threatening operational continuity and data integrity.
The opportunity
A JAG grant opportunity with an October 2026 deadline provides a defined funding path, and the adopted FY2027 public safety budget signals available purchasing capacity. Acting now maximizes grant leverage, closes a critical compliance gap ahead of the 2027 deadline, and reduces institutional risk to protected criminal justice data.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps across its public-facing web properties, with no remediation plan in place and a federal compliance deadline of April 2028. Without action, the department faces legal exposure and continued barriers to equitable public access to government information and services.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle and ongoing website enhancement efforts create a natural window to fund and scope remediation before the deadline pressure intensifies. Acting now allows the department to reduce legal risk, improve service equity, and align procurement with available budget authority.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department has no telematics or driver-behavior monitoring in place, limiting accountability following a public complaint involving a police vehicle. A 19.7% rise in property and liability insurance premiums signals growing financial and reputational risk to the agency.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2027 budget includes $114,150 for vehicles and $75,000 for major purchases, providing a direct funding pathway for fleet technology. Acting within this budget cycle reduces insurance exposure, strengthens public trust, and establishes a data-driven foundation for fleet risk management.

Discuss this project →Centralized Endpoint & Systems Management for Public Safety
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A growing public safety technology environment—including a recently deployed Drone as a First Responder program—has increased the complexity of managing endpoints and systems without a centralized framework. Active CJIS compliance mandates (deadline March 2027) and no documented plan for password security create measurable operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A JAG grant deadline of October 2026 directly supports criminal-justice information system improvements, offering a near-term funding pathway. The adopted FY2027 budget includes a 9.6% increase in public safety allocation, creating strong fiscal alignment to act within the current planning cycle.
