Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Operations Plan remains incomplete with 22 annexes under revision, public notification capabilities are insufficient, and a flood emergency action plan is still under development. Recent catastrophic flooding has exposed critical real-world gaps, while HHSC LIDDA COOP compliance mandates and required drills make an updated, functional EOP an urgent operational and regulatory necessity.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is active, disaster response and recovery is a stated funding priority, and related initiatives are budget-approved and urgent. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience across the region, and aligns with available state and federal disaster-preparedness funding pathways.
Strengthen Identity Security and Cybersecurity Compliance
Cybersecurity & Identity Access Management · Public Safety IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The organization faces active compliance mandates across CJIS, HIPAA, NIST, MFA, SIEM, and Zero Trust frameworks, with identity security gaps identified despite existing SSO and MFA infrastructure. Ongoing public safety RFPs explicitly require enhanced cybersecurity capabilities, elevating operational and procurement risk if gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is active with over $1M in annual IT spend, and the BJA FY 2026 Public Safety and Mental Health Initiative grant offers a strong funding pathway for cybersecurity and IT management improvements. Acting now aligns with open procurement cycles and reduces compliance exposure across public safety operations.

Discuss this project →Modernize IT Endpoint and Infrastructure Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Active RFPs for CAD/RMS and Unified Communications modernization signal an urgent need for centralized mobile endpoint management and IT infrastructure oversight. Compliance mandates including HIPAA, CJIS, NIST, and HHSC training requirements elevate operational and security risk without a unified management framework in place.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Public Safety and Mental Health Initiative grant offers a funded pathway for IT management and EHR modernization, aligning with active FY2027 budget planning. Acting now supports open procurement timelines, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens public safety service delivery across the region.
BJA FY 2026 Public Safety
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards under a binding 2027 compliance deadline. Failure to meet this mandate exposes the organization to legal risk and limits equitable access to services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates a defined procurement window that aligns with active FY2027 budget planning, supporting near-term funding availability. Acting now allows time for assessment, remediation, and validation before the deadline while reducing legal exposure and advancing digital equity goals.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Accountability
High Priority
About this project
A multi-county agency operating 19 counties of fleet vehicles and mobile clinic units lacks telematics and dash cam systems, creating an evidence and accountability gap. Without driver safety monitoring, the agency faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to document or investigate incidents proactively.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is active with demonstrated IT spend capacity, and cooperative purchasing contracts may streamline procurement. Implementing fleet telematics now reduces operational risk, strengthens public accountability, and positions the agency ahead of potential compliance or liability triggers.
Modernize Public Safety CAD/RMS and Unified Communications
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active RFPs have been issued to modernize CAD, records management, and unified communications systems, with explicit requirements for enhanced cybersecurity and mobile capabilities. A fragmented communications ecosystem and lack of integrated platforms create operational risk for public safety personnel and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
These procurements are budget-approved, formally bid, and aligned with FY2027 planning, signaling strong near-term readiness to act. Addressing integration and cybersecurity gaps now supports CJIS and NIST compliance, improves first-responder effectiveness, and may qualify for federal public safety grant funding.
