Emergency Mass Notification & Resilience Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cybersecurity incident disrupted the entity's mass notification provider, exposing critical gaps in emergency preparedness, notification coverage, and EOP review compliance. These failures elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects increased Police and Fire/EMS investment, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a viable federal funding pathway. A new public safety leadership transition creates a timely window to advance resilient, compliant notification infrastructure.

High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cybersecurity incident exposed gaps in access controls, including the absence of two-factor authentication and insufficient staff security training, leaving systems and resident data at risk. Mandated cybersecurity controls remain only partially implemented, and an expiring cloud services contract creates an immediate decision point for modernizing the IT and security stack.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a viable funding pathway for IT management and cybersecurity technology, reducing the local budget burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance gaps, mitigates breach risk, and aligns with an active contract expiration forcing near-term procurement action.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department has experienced multiple fleet-involved accidents, including at least one totaled police vehicle, and has faced public scrutiny over operator errors. The absence of telematics and dash camera technology has been identified as a key gap driving recurring incidents and operational liability.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects continued investment in police operations, and existing cooperative purchasing memberships enable accelerated, compliant procurement. A new Police Chief and high public visibility create executive momentum to advance fleet safety as a near-term priority.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a federal mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility on its public-facing digital properties by April 2028, with no current plan or solution in place. This gap creates legal exposure and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline establishes a defined planning and procurement window, and cooperative purchasing memberships streamline the path to action within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and ensures uninterrupted public access to government services.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential and Identity Security Controls
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Planned deployment of dual-factor authentication signals a recognized but unresolved gap in credential and identity security. Cybersecurity control mandates—including 2FA and staff security training—remain only partially implemented, leaving the organization exposed to credential-based threats and potential data compromise.
The opportunity
A recent cybersecurity incident and leadership transition create urgency to formalize identity security controls before the next fiscal cycle. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a viable funding pathway, and existing cooperative purchasing memberships can reduce procurement timelines and administrative burden.
