Fleet Safety & Telematics Infrastructure Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has sustained multiple severe fleet incidents—including a fatal crash, a deputy charged with involuntary manslaughter, and a $50M civil lawsuit—with no dash-cam or telematics infrastructure in place to provide evidentiary data or support driver accountability. This absence of visibility creates compounding legal, financial, and public safety risk for the county.
The opportunity
Documented legal exposure and active fleet financing create immediate procurement urgency, and the COPS TEP grant offers a direct funding pathway for law enforcement technology. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed available, enabling a streamlined procurement process aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including a severe reduction in EMPG funding, an undated and unverified EOP status, and documented communication failures—including dispatch lines going down during severe weather. NIMS implementation and EOP maintenance mandates remain unmet, elevating both operational and compliance risk during active disaster response.
The opportunity
FEMA Individual and Public Assistance approval for recent storm damage opens a time-limited funding window, while HSGP offers an additional pathway for emergency management investment. Addressing compliance gaps and restoring EMPG eligibility now protects public safety operations and positions the county to sustain federal funding through the upcoming grant cycle.
Public Safety Communications & CAD Modernization
Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
Active procurements are underway for phone system modernization at the Sheriff's Office and a Public Safety CAD system at Central Dispatch, reflecting critical gaps in communications infrastructure. Dispatch and EOC encryption remain high-urgency priorities, with documented communication failures during severe weather elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Concurrent RFP cycles and state disaster declarations signal immediate procurement windows, with HSGP and related grant funding available to support emergency communications upgrades. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with formal bid thresholds, cooperative procurement pathways, and compliance obligations tied to EMPG eligibility and NIMS requirements.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented failures in public alerting—including dispatch communication outages during severe weather—expose a critical gap in the county's ability to notify residents during emergencies. Compliance with NIMS requirements and EMPG funding eligibility depend on maintaining reliable, operational notification and emergency communications infrastructure.
The opportunity
The April 2026 flood response and active emergency management operations create immediate justification for action, while HSGP grant funding offers a viable pathway to support procurement with limited local match. Addressing this gap now strengthens public safety outcomes, supports grant eligibility, and aligns with current fiscal and strategic planning cycles.
Endpoint Security and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has no identified endpoint management or password management solution in place, creating measurable gaps in cybersecurity posture amid active compliance mandates. Without centralized credential and device controls, public data, staff systems, and operational continuity remain at elevated risk.
The opportunity
JAG and HSGP grant programs offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity initiatives, and confirmed cooperative procurement vehicles reduce acquisition complexity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to close compliance gaps, reduce operational risk, and strengthen its security baseline before the next audit or incident.
