Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Basic Emergency Operations Plan is over 12 years old, creating critical preparedness gaps and jeopardizing eligibility for federal grants such as UASI. A canceled public-safety communications RFP and an unfilled emergency management deputy position compound operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
An active federal grant opportunity for Mobile Command Posts offers $1M+ in funding with award notification anticipated soon, and the FY27 budget window is imminent. Addressing the EOP gap now restores grant eligibility, closes the open procurement need, and strengthens regional emergency readiness.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have exposed critical gaps in user-access controls and password management, creating immediate compliance and security risk for the organization. A multi-year IT strategic planning initiative and a dedicated Physical and Cybersecurity program reflect organizational commitment to remediation, with a new IT Director positioned to accelerate technology decisions.
The opportunity
Active audit findings and an imminent FY27 budget decision window create a clear near-term window for remediation investment. JAG Local Formula and Port Security grants are identified funding sources, reducing local budget burden while advancing compliance and operational security outcomes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented recurrent fleet-involved accidents have resulted in deputy injuries and civilian critical injuries, signaling urgent gaps in vehicle safety oversight and monitoring. Strategic fleet modernization initiatives, including sustainable fleet and driver safety programs, are funded and underway but require supporting technology to reduce operational risk.
The opportunity
A $6M FY27 fleet budget allocation creates a near-term procurement window aligned with active modernization priorities. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining acquisition and enabling faster deployment of safety and telematics capabilities that protect personnel and the public.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Harris County's public-facing digital properties must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2027, a federally mandated deadline with legal and civil rights implications. Failure to comply exposes the county to accessibility litigation and excludes residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a defined, non-negotiable remediation window, and the county's FY27 budget reflects strong technology investment capacity to act now. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place streamline procurement, reducing time-to-contract and supporting timely compliance.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office is undertaking a multi-year IT strategic planning initiative encompassing physical security, cybersecurity, and broad endpoint modernization. An incoming IT Director and an upcoming technology renewal create a critical inflection point for re-evaluating the full IT stack and addressing identified user-access and device management gaps.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget decision window is open now, with $55M+ in annual IT spend confirming available capacity and cooperative purchasing agreements enabling streamlined procurement. Acting during this leadership transition aligns modernization investments with strategic priorities and reduces operational and compliance risk before the next budget cycle closes.
