Fleet Video & In-Car Camera Coverage Expansion
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces incomplete vehicle camera coverage, an active high-value lawsuit involving disputed traffic stop footage, and a recent preventable fleet collision. A FY2024 audit flagged fleet purchasing deficiencies requiring corrective action, compounding liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
Body and in-car camera deployment is a funded, high-priority initiative with a defined timeline, making action within the current fiscal cycle both urgent and achievable. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement and help satisfy formal bid requirements above established thresholds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hawkins County's prior mass-notification provider was replaced after late tornado warnings caused resident-alerting failures, yet the current Hawkins Alert system faces staffing capacity constraints and financial sustainability risks. These ongoing gaps leave residents vulnerable during time-critical emergencies and signal unresolved operational continuity exposure.
The opportunity
Existing public safety grant awards, including E-911 and Emergency Response Team funding, may indirectly support emergency communications improvements, and the upcoming fiscal cycle presents a planning window to close identified gaps. Augmenting the current system now reduces liability, strengthens resident safety outcomes, and positions the county ahead of a potential leadership transition in 2026.

Emergency Communications · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The E-911 dispatch and communications infrastructure requires modernization, with current annual IT spend indicating legacy system constraints that elevate operational risk. Aging technology in emergency communications environments can compromise dispatch reliability, interoperability, and continuity of service to the public.
The opportunity
Grant awards already received for E-911 provide a viable funding pathway to advance this initiative within the current budget cycle. Acting now reduces operational risk, supports dispatch reliability, and positions the agency ahead of a potential leadership transition in 2026.

Discuss this project →CJIS Password Management Compliance Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · Law Enforcement IT
High Priority
About this project
CJIS Security Policy 6.0 imposes non-discretionary password management requirements on law enforcement agencies, with direct corrective action implications for credentialing and criminal justice data access. Gaps in compliance elevate the risk of audit findings, access revocations, and exposure of sensitive law enforcement data.
The opportunity
CJIS compliance is a standing regulatory obligation, not a discretionary initiative, making inaction a liability risk that grows with each audit cycle. Funding this through existing IT or public safety allocations is feasible, and cooperative purchasing vehicles familiar to the agency can streamline procurement within the current budget year.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office maintains an accessibility statement but lacks documented WCAG/ADA conformance on its public-facing website, creating latent legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Without a structured remediation plan, the gap may escalate into formal complaints or enforcement action.
The opportunity
Staging remediation by risk severity allows the office to reduce compliance exposure incrementally within existing budget constraints, ahead of any formal audit or complaint. Addressing conformance gaps now supports equitable public access and positions the agency favorably within the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
