Cybersecurity Services Procurement and CJIS Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active RFP for comprehensive cybersecurity services driven by CJIS encryption mandates due October 2026, a fragmented multi-provider IT environment, and documented gaps in endpoint and password management. Failure to act risks non-compliance, data exposure, and disruption to critical public safety operations including 911 dispatch.
The opportunity
The RFP procurement window closes June 2026, with HSGP and COPS TEP grant deadlines in July 2026 providing direct funding alignment and limited local match requirements. Cooperative purchasing pathways and low procurement thresholds enable faster deal structures, supporting compliance and operational continuity within the current fiscal cycle.
Unified Endpoint Management for 911 Operations
Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented IT environment managed across multiple third-party providers has left a 911/communications center without centralized endpoint oversight, increasing security exposure and operational risk. An active cybersecurity RFP explicitly identifies endpoint management as a stated need, alongside CJIS encryption mandates requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
An open RFP procurement window closing in mid-2026 creates an immediate, structured path to address endpoint management alongside broader cybersecurity needs. Cooperative purchasing options and relevant grant funding cycles support cost-effective implementation, reducing risk to critical public safety communications infrastructure.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, with no documented public exercises or After Action Reviews, and ongoing NIMS implementation requirements remain unmet. A recent severe flooding incident has exposed critical preparedness gaps, elevating life-safety and compliance risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant windows with July 2026 deadlines provide near-term, eligible funding paths to address these gaps with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with current fiscal planning cycles, satisfies NIMS compliance obligations, and strengthens the county's readiness before the next severe weather event.
Mass Notification System Performance & Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Mass notification system performance is undocumented, making it impossible to verify reliability or public reach during emergencies. A recent severe flooding incident exposed this gap, and consolidating fragmented notification capabilities is now an identified operational and compliance priority.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a near-term funding window for emergency communication improvements, and low procurement thresholds may allow expedited purchasing. Addressing this now reduces operational risk, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.
911 Dispatch & Communications Contract Renewal
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces converging contract renewals for its 911 dispatch system and supplemental communications platform in mid-to-late 2026, creating both operational risk and a strategic planning window. Dedicated 911 surcharge funding provides budget stability, but uncoordinated renewals risk service gaps and missed consolidation opportunities.
The opportunity
Aligning these renewals within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to consolidate communications tools, reduce redundancy, and strengthen operational continuity. Secure surcharge funding and state revenue sharing support this investment without significant budget exposure.
