Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented gaps in EOP review status, an aging mass notification platform with unclear contract terms, and limited outdoor warning siren coverage. Annual mandates for EOP review and NIMS implementation remain unresolved, elevating compliance and operational risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Confirmed Homeland Security Grant Program awards provide a direct funding pathway, and the department's active public-safety communications modernization program creates strong near-term alignment. Addressing these gaps now reduces incident response risk and supports responsible stewardship of the $1.86M annual emergency management and public safety technology budget.

Public Safety Technology · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
An active CAD/RMS/JMS replacement and NG9-1-1 upgrade program is underway, creating a critical integration window for public-safety communications and GIS platforms. Delays in aligning complementary systems during this cycle risk interoperability gaps, increased implementation costs, and degraded emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
The active replacement cycle opens a time-sensitive window to integrate emergency management and GIS platforms before core systems are locked in. Established public-safety IT budget capacity and available Homeland Security grant funding support action within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department averages 52 vehicle accidents annually, resulting in $216K in repairs and rising insurance costs, with no comprehensive fleet-wide telematics solution currently in place for the Police Department. Existing GPS monitoring is aging and limited in scope, leaving significant gaps in driver safety visibility and fleet accountability.
The opportunity
A camera system upgrade for Solid Waste Services is already budgeted for FY27, providing a near-term entry point, while cooperative procurement contracts offer a streamlined path to expand fleet safety coverage. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, supports officer safety, and aligns with active FY planning cycles.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have documented gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, limiting equitable resident access to government services and creating legal exposure. A hard compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, combined with an active digital services transformation, makes remediation both urgent and operationally complex.
The opportunity
The defined April 2027 deadline creates a clear procurement window, and substantial FY27 IT infrastructure and security budget allocations support near-term investment. Acting now allows sufficient time for remediation, testing, and validation before the mandate takes effect, reducing legal and reputational risk.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in password security management and IT infrastructure resilience, with penetration testing needs unmet and an incumbent credential tool due for evaluation. Without modernization, public-sector systems and sensitive criminal-justice data remain exposed to escalating cyber threats.
The opportunity
A confirmed BJA FY2026 JAG award of $65,655 provides a direct, immediate funding path for cybersecurity improvements tied to criminal-justice purposes, with FY27 IT security budgets offering additional support. Acting within the current fiscal window maximizes grant alignment and reduces operational and compliance risk.

Discuss this project →Drone First Responder Program Launch
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified a Drone First Responder initiative as part of its emergency management and public safety modernization, coordinated alongside NG9-1-1 and CAD/RMS/JMS upgrades. Without this capability, incident response times and situational awareness gaps remain a risk to community safety and operational readiness.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program awards and a substantial public safety technology budget create near-term funding alignment for this initiative. Acting within the current planning cycle supports coordinated deployment alongside active communications modernization efforts, maximizing mission impact and resource efficiency.
