Emergency Operations Plan Finalization and Preparedness Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Although the EOP was recently rewritten, critical gaps remain — including a backup EOC without a generator and uncertain mass notification coverage — creating immediate operational and compliance risk. NIMS standards and EMPG grant requirements further mandate resolution, elevating urgency for department leadership.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and BRIC grant funding cycles provide accessible budget pathways to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Leadership's regional homeland security role and ongoing EOP finalization create a near-term window to advance compliance, strengthen continuity, and protect public safety outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a clearly documented mass notification system, and current alerting capabilities are siloed to security functions, limiting reliable communication with staff and the public during incidents. Active EOP development and NIMS/EMPG compliance mandates elevate the urgency of closing this gap.
The opportunity
EOP finalization and expanding notification requirements create a strategic window to act. Homeland security grant funding — including HSGP and EMPG-aligned programs — supports near-term investment with limited local match, strengthening public safety outcomes and compliance posture ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Fleet Safety Technology & Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates significant fleet assets, including fire apparatus and snow removal equipment, without documented safety technology or telematics monitoring in place. Liability settlements underscore the operational and financial risk of unmanaged fleet activity, creating urgency for safety oversight and accountability.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding explicitly covers equipment and technology acquisitions, offering a viable funding pathway aligned with the current grant cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, enabling faster deployment and reducing exposure during active fleet operations this fiscal year.
Cybersecurity Program Development for Public Safety
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A documented fraud incident tied to a malicious email link has exposed the absence of an enterprise cybersecurity plan, endpoint management, and password management controls. The lack of foundational security infrastructure, compounded by a high-profile regional incident at a nearby school district, elevates operational and compliance risk for staff and public data.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding explicitly covers computer technology and information systems, providing a viable funding path to address these gaps within the current grant window. Acting now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance mandates, and positions the department to meet evolving cybersecurity requirements before risk escalates further.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Readiness
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
WCAG 2.1 and ADA web accessibility standards represent an emerging compliance mandate for public-facing digital services. Non-compliance carries growing legal exposure and limits equitable public access to government information and services over time.
The opportunity
Proactive planning ahead of regulatory deadlines allows for phased, budget-conscious implementation aligned with upcoming fiscal cycles. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, broadens constituent access, and positions the department for compliance before mandates become enforceable.
