Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been revised since 1998—now 28.6 years overdue—creating a critical compliance and operational readiness gap. Fragmented mass notification platforms and an outdated Hazard Mitigation Plan further compound risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A high-profile public safety incident and an active budget cycle elevate urgency for immediate action, with hazard mitigation and preparedness initiatives eligible for state and federal funding. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community-wide emergency response before the next fiscal planning window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current multi-platform notification environment creates fragmentation and legacy confusion that undermines reliable public and staff alerting during emergencies. With an Emergency Operations Plan overdue since 1998, consolidating into a unified alerting system is both an operational necessity and a compliance imperative.
The opportunity
Platform fragmentation in mass notification poses direct risk to emergency response outcomes and aligns with an overdue EOP modernization mandate. Consolidation now supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and may be eligible for emergency preparedness funding in the current grant cycle.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Office In-Car Computer Deployment & Endpoint Management
Public Safety Technology · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has secured budget approval for in-car computer deployment across its patrol fleet, alongside cloud migration for jail records. Without a structured endpoint management strategy, the county risks inconsistent device oversight, data security gaps, and reduced operational effectiveness for deputies in the field.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget decision window closes in September 2026, making near-term action critical to align procurement with approved funding. The BJA FY 2026 Local JAG Program explicitly supports information systems and technology improvements in criminal justice, providing a strong federal funding pathway for this initiative.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Workforce Cybersecurity Awareness and Credential Security
Cybersecurity · Workforce Training
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified a recognized gap in employee cybersecurity awareness and credential hygiene, prompting a strategic initiative to enroll staff in structured security training. Without consistent training, human-factor vulnerabilities remain a leading risk to public data, systems, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Local JAG Program explicitly funds information systems and technology improvements, providing a clear, near-term funding pathway for this initiative. Active enrollment planning signals procurement readiness, and acting within the current grant cycle maximizes cost offset while reducing organizational cyber risk.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol vehicle rollover resulting in deputy injury has elevated executive urgency for fleet safety improvements. The county is actively procuring new patrol vehicles and deploying in-car camera systems, with a stated need for integrated dash cameras, GPS/telematics, and driver safety monitoring across the fleet.
The opportunity
Approved patrol vehicle funding and active camera deployments signal a fleet modernization effort already in motion, creating a near-term window to integrate safety monitoring before the FY 2027 budget cycle closes. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the county can streamline procurement and accelerate implementation timelines.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance Modernization (WCAG 2.1)
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires public-facing digital portals to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards by 2028, creating defined legal and compliance exposure for the county. Failure to act proactively risks costly remediation, litigation, and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a clear planning and budgeting window within the current and upcoming fiscal cycles, allowing the county to phase implementation responsibly. Early action reduces legal risk, supports equitable public service delivery, and positions the county to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.
