Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's aging fleet lacks comprehensive telematics coverage, creating elevated accident risk and rising replacement costs with no full deployment of vehicle monitoring or driver safety tools. Early-stage GPS and camera purchases signal readiness, but gaps in coverage leave personnel, apparatus, and the public underprotected.
The opportunity
County-wide motor vehicle investment in FY2026 and an authorized Assistance to Firefighters Grant application (up to $225,000) create a timely funding pathway for a comprehensive telematics rollout. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns procurement with approved budgets and reduces accident liability before the next budget window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, creating a significant preparedness gap in a high-exposure jurisdiction with active NIMS and All-Hazards Incident Management compliance mandates. The unknown status of the mass notification system further compounds operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Flood Hazard Mitigation initiative and a growing citywide budget signal leadership readiness for emergency management investment. A Tennessee HSGP subaward pathway offers a viable funding avenue, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates a fragmented mass notification environment across two platforms, with the operational status of at least one system unconfirmed. This split infrastructure undermines reliable alerting for residents and staff during incidents and creates redundancy risk that conflicts with NIMS and All-Hazards compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Consolidation aligns with active emergency management modernization efforts and can be sequenced alongside EOP development to maximize impact and funding efficiency. Tennessee Homeland Security Grant Program subaward pathways and an open Assistance to Firefighters Grant window support near-term action within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fire Department Mobile Data & CAD Modernization
Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has an active FY25–FY26 initiative to modernize mobile data and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems, targeting improved field data access and operational responsiveness for first responders. Gaps in current endpoint connectivity and field technology create operational risk and may limit compliance with incident management standards.
The opportunity
With procurement planning underway and the department authorized to pursue the FY2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (up to $225,000), this is an optimal window to advance modernization aligned with the active budget cycle. Acting now supports first responder readiness, strengthens CAD integration, and positions the department to maximize available public safety funding.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence is subject to WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA compliance mandates, and current gaps create measurable legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Without remediation, the entity risks civil complaints, audit findings, and continued exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential digital services.
The opportunity
Web accessibility compliance is a non-discretionary obligation, making this project fundable and justifiable independent of discretionary budget cycles. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the department ahead of increasing federal and state enforcement activity.
