EMS Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hamilton County EMS faces documented liability exposure from recent crash settlements and vehicle collisions, compounded by an absence of dash cameras and telematics that leaves an evidence and defensibility gap. A fuel-card audit deadline and active fleet expansion heighten both compliance and operational risk for the department.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes over $3 million in combined fleet and vehicle technology capital outlay, creating a funded, near-term window to close safety and compliance gaps. Acting within the current budget cycle supports mission continuity, reduces liability exposure, and aligns with active ambulance procurement already underway.

About this project
The county is actively pursuing EMS fleet modernization—including four new ambulances—alongside a countywide fleet electrification initiative, with documented liability exposure from recent incidents and a gap in vehicle telematics and driver accountability tools. A completed fuel-card audit and recent crash-related settlement underscore the operational and financial risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget, approved June 2026, includes dedicated fleet capital outlay exceeding $1.6 million, creating a funded, near-term procurement window. Acting within this cycle aligns fleet investments with electrification goals, closes safety and defensibility gaps, and supports stewardship of public safety resources.

IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hamilton County has an approved countywide IT infrastructure modernization initiative encompassing EMS mobile connectivity and digital inventory systems. With mobile ambulance routers approved for procurement effective July 1, 2026, gaps in endpoint management and field connectivity pose operational and service-delivery risk to EMS personnel and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
The July 1, 2026 procurement window and FY2027 budget increases in Information Systems and Capital Leases/Software-Based IT Agreements create a defined, funded entry point. Acting within this cycle ensures alignment with approved appropriations and advances mission-critical EMS connectivity and infrastructure goals.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county has a documented strategic initiative to acquire cybersecurity software, prompted by a contractor security incident and an existing county cybersecurity program signaling known gaps. Without confirmed solutions in place, public safety operations and sensitive data remain exposed to ongoing risk.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2027 budget includes $240,480 designated for emergency management and public safety technology, creating a funded, active window for this acquisition. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending authority with operational need and reduces exposure before the next budget review.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces unresolved emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented EOP status and unclear mass notification contract details, while NIMS obligations remain in effect. Recent severe weather declarations heighten operational risk and underscore the urgency of closing these planning and system documentation gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget reflects increased investment in emergency management and public safety technology, creating a viable funding pathway for preparedness improvements. Addressing EOP documentation and mass notification continuity now positions the county to meet NIMS obligations and respond more effectively during declared emergencies.
