Emergency Operations Plan & 911 System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and is replacing an end-of-life 911 dispatch system, while mass notification coverage remains unquantified. These gaps create compounding operational and compliance risk during critical incidents affecting residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The $26.2M EOC debut and budget-approved Next Gen 9-1-1 initiative create an immediate decision window ahead of FY2027 finalization, with Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance grants available to offset costs. Acting now closes preparedness gaps and strengthens community safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System has reached end-of-life, creating operational risk for 911 response and public safety continuity. Integration with Next Gen 9-1-1 infrastructure is a defined requirement, and delays elevate both service delivery gaps and compliance exposure under CJIS mandates.
The opportunity
This replacement is budget-approved and supported by a $26.2M EOC modernization effort and active Major Technology Fund transfers, creating a favorable funding environment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures alignment with Next Gen 9-1-1 timelines, Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance Grant windows, and uninterrupted public safety dispatch operations.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP for IT end-user support, asset management, and equipment warehousing is closing in June, signaling an urgent procurement window. The existing $4.6M desktop support contract is being replaced, and current endpoint management tools present consolidation opportunities aligned with CJIS, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA compliance mandates.
The opportunity
The June RFP deadline and September FY2027 budget finalization create back-to-back decision windows, supported by a $5M Major Technology Fund transfer. Acting now positions the entity to reduce operational risk, consolidate endpoint management, and align expenditures with available funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Closing the Password & Identity Security Compliance Gap
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
Dallas County operates under non-negotiable cybersecurity mandates—CJIS, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, and PCI—with formal password policies in place but no dedicated identity and password management solution deployed. This gap in the Microsoft 365/Azure environment creates measurable compliance exposure and elevates the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive county systems and resident data.
The opportunity
Active IT infrastructure and cloud services budgets, combined with grant programs such as the Local JAG and Homeland Security Grant Program, provide near-term funding pathways for this investment. With FY2027 budget finalization approaching in September, addressing this compliance gap now aligns with the current decision window and reduces audit and breach risk.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Multiple active procurements explicitly require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, signaling enforceable accessibility standards across public-facing digital systems. Systemic gaps in current infrastructure risk non-compliance, limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
Each new technology procurement triggers WCAG 2.1 AA requirements, creating a recurring and expanding compliance obligation aligned with active RFP cycles and FY planning windows. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable digital service delivery for all residents.
Fire Department Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Hutchins Fire Department lacks dash cameras and telematics, despite a documented serious injury involving a city emergency vehicle and active workers' compensation scrutiny. Without video evidence or vehicle data, the department faces ongoing liability exposure and limited ability to prevent or investigate future incidents.
The opportunity
Existing cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement without a full RFP cycle, reducing time-to-deployment and administrative burden. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses documented safety gaps, strengthens liability protection, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
