Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Graham Police Department lacks a current EOP revision date and a mass-notification system, creating critical emergency preparedness gaps. These deficiencies risk federal grant ineligibility under NIMS compliance requirements, threatening both operational readiness and access to future funding.
The opportunity
A proposed $250,000 Dispatch Center budget allocation and a stated strategic priority for comprehensive emergency management planning signal near-term funding availability. Addressing EOP and notification gaps now preserves federal grant eligibility and strengthens community safety outcomes ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces urgent cybersecurity compliance mandates—including password security requirements and an annual training certification deadline of August 2026—with no confirmed solution currently in place. A newly appointed IT Director signals an active review of the city's cybersecurity posture, elevating both operational and compliance risk across departments.
The opportunity
The August 2026 certification deadline creates a defined, near-term window for action. The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects increased capacity for computer services, and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant offers a viable funding pathway for eligible technology improvements—making this an opportune moment to close compliance gaps and reduce institutional risk.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent IT Director hire and a proposed expansion of Police Department computer services signal a critical need for improved endpoint oversight and formalized IT operations. Without centralized visibility, the city faces elevated operational risk and gaps in managing a growing device environment across departments.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes increased allocations for computer services, and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant offers a viable funding path for IT management improvements. Acting now aligns with new leadership's systems review cycle and positions the city to reduce risk before compliance deadlines arrive.

Discuss this project →Patrol Vehicle Safety & Mobile Evidence Coverage
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is replacing two patrol vehicles within a $49,000 FY 2026–2027 budget allocation while managing a substantial repair burden and rising liability insurance and workers' compensation costs. A past litigation event exposed a critical evidentiary gap — dash cameras were present, but no body camera footage existed — increasing operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated FY 2026–2027 budget funding creates a defined procurement window to address fleet safety and documentation gaps before costs and liability exposure grow further. Cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline acquisition, and justice-focused grant programs offer supplemental funding pathways aligned with public safety technology improvements.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing web presence does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with a compliance deadline approaching in April 2028 and no remediation plan currently in place. This gap exposes the municipality to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The fixed April 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined urgency window, and early planning allows the city to shape its remediation approach before costs and timelines compress. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable service delivery and aligns with the current IT leadership review cycle and FY budget planning.
