Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
HPD recorded 552 vehicle collisions in 2025—231 at-fault—resulting in a $13M jury award and $2.2M paid across 344 liability claims. Incomplete dash-camera coverage and the absence of fleet-wide telematics have created a documented evidence and accountability gap, elevating legal, safety, and operational risk.
The opportunity
A budget-approved, multi-year fleet replacement and modernization initiative provides immediate funding to close critical safety and accountability gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing liability exposure and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
HPD and citywide IT infrastructure face critical gaps in endpoint management and patching capabilities, increasing exposure to cyber threats and operational disruption. A leadership transition at the centralized IT department creates an immediate window to re-evaluate legacy systems before FY2027 modernization commitments are locked in.
The opportunity
A budget-approved IT modernization initiative and increased cybersecurity funding for FY2027 establish a defined window to act. A federal law enforcement technology grant provides supplemental funding potential, and cooperative purchasing agreements support a streamlined procurement path.

Cybersecurity & Identity Management · Law Enforcement Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A centralized identity, access, and password management solution is needed to meet mandatory CJIS compliance requirements, with M365 tenant consolidation adding further IAM complexity. Without action, the department risks non-compliance with federal criminal justice information standards, exposing sensitive data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Funding is already approved with $620K allocated for MFA deployment, and a $2.9M federal law enforcement technology grant supports broader cybersecurity execution this fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces audit exposure, and leverages available federal and cooperative procurement pathways.

Discuss this project →HPD Records Management System Replacement
Law Enforcement Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Houston Police Department's current records management system is operating on an extended contract set to expire in November 2026, creating a hard deadline for a replacement decision. A high-profile suspended cases scandal tied to the legacy system has intensified public scrutiny and elevated the operational and reputational risk of inaction.
The opportunity
The November 2026 contract expiration sets a firm, non-negotiable procurement timeline, making early planning critical to avoid a lapse in mission-critical records capability. Federal law enforcement technology funding is available in the current grant cycle, and FY2027 public safety IT budgets are positioned to support a modernized replacement.

Emergency Communications · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Houston Emergency Center's Computer-Aided Dispatch platform is over 20 years old and lacks Next Generation 911 compatibility, creating a critical compliance and operational gap. Without modernization, the center faces degraded dispatch reliability and an inability to meet NG911 mandates that directly affect emergency response outcomes.
The opportunity
A $64.7M federal grant tied to major public safety initiatives and a budget-approved mission-critical 911 infrastructure initiative provide identified funding to act now. Advancing this project addresses regulatory deadlines, reduces operational risk, and strengthens emergency response capacity for the residents served.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 for its public-facing websites, with existing ADA gaps creating legal exposure and limiting resident access to essential digital services. Unresolved accessibility barriers increase litigation risk and undermine equitable service delivery across the community.
The opportunity
A budget-approved digital accessibility roadmap initiative confirms organizational commitment and available funding, making the current fiscal cycle the critical window for procurement and implementation. Acting now ensures compliance ahead of the April 2027 deadline while improving public-facing service access for all residents.
