Emergency Operations Plan Revision and Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is actively under revision, creating operational gaps during a period of recent declared emergencies including severe storms and a tornado. Severe EMPG funding cuts, unresolved mass-notification contract status, and outstanding NIMS compliance mandates compound preparedness and continuity risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program presents a strong funding match for emergency communications and mass notification improvements, with the county's history of successful grant applications supporting a viable path forward. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next emergency event.

Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a regulatory mandate to revise its Hazard Mitigation Plan, with active EOC activation obligations and NIMS implementation requirements creating compounding compliance pressure. Delays elevate operational risk and jeopardize eligibility for emergency management funding tied to plan currency.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program presents a timely funding pathway aligned directly with HMP revision and emergency preparedness investments. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens compliance standing, reduces disaster-response liability, and positions the county to protect residents and secure future emergency management resources.

Discuss this project →911 & Dispatch Communications Modernization and Encryption
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
County dispatch operations are actively disrupted by a telephony replacement, while 911 encryption work and cybersecurity grant activity for Central Dispatch remain in progress. State-level cuts to 911 funding add budget pressure to an already urgent operational and compliance environment.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program presents a timely funding pathway for emergency communications and encryption initiatives, with cooperative procurement vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk and supports continuity of life-safety dispatch services.

Discuss this project →Managed IT Services & Endpoint Cybersecurity Modernization
Cybersecurity & Compliance · IT Managed Services
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP for managed IT services requires 24/7 monitoring and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), driven by non-negotiable LEIN/CJIS compliance mandates. Without a named endpoint management solution in place, the county faces elevated cybersecurity risk and potential compliance exposure across public safety operations.
The opportunity
The October 2024 RFP signals an immediate procurement window, and the FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program offers eligible funding for cybersecurity investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk, supports public safety continuity, and may leverage cooperative contracting to streamline award.
FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program
Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security for CJIS Compliance
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
LEIN/CJIS compliance mandates require robust credential and access controls, yet no identity and access management solution is currently in place. This gap exposes the county to audit risk, unauthorized access vulnerabilities, and potential loss of access to critical law enforcement data systems.
The opportunity
The active IT Managed Services RFP creates a timely procurement vehicle to address identity and access management alongside broader cybersecurity requirements, with co-op contract pathways available to streamline acquisition. Acting within the current RFP cycle reduces compliance risk and supports responsible stewardship of public safety infrastructure.
FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Emergency Medical Readiness Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An uninsured vehicle accident exposed critical gaps in county fleet oversight and insurance compliance, prompting a full fleet inventory with no incumbent system in place. Concurrently, the Sheriff's department lacks AEDs in patrol vehicles, a life-safety gap underscored by recent medical emergencies involving personnel.
The opportunity
A potential CDBG award and co-op procurement pathways offer accessible funding routes to address both fleet and safety technology needs within the current budget cycle. Acting now reduces liability exposure, closes a documented life-safety gap, and positions the county for competitive, compliant procurement.
