Unify Emergency Management & Communications Infrastructure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, uncertain mass notification capability, and no HSEEP exercises since the Ross Fire — while operating a fragmented communication stack. Compliance with Texas Government Code Chapter 418 and NIMS adoption requirements remains unresolved, elevating both operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
FEMA FMAG funding tied to the Ross Fire response provides a direct, near-term funding path, and active participation in PSAP modernization and Hazard Mitigation Plan updates signals leadership readiness. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes compliance gaps, reduces incident response risk, and aligns with upcoming system renewal decision points.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office operates a fragmented website and document ecosystem with identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to public-facing services. Legacy document workflows and a basic hosting platform compound accessibility risks for residents who depend on digital access to law enforcement information.
The opportunity
The April 26, 2027 WCAG 2.1 Level AA federal deadline creates a hard, time-bound compliance requirement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the office to remediate gaps systematically, reduce legal exposure, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents before enforcement risk escalates.
Fleet Telematics & Deputy Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A serious deputy vehicle crash in 2025 resulting in injuries exposed a critical gap in fleet telematics and vehicle safety monitoring. The absence of telematics data during the incident increases liability exposure, and new patrol unit acquisitions for School Resource Officers further expand an unmonitored fleet.
The opportunity
Identified law enforcement grants totaling over $430,000 in FY26 may be applicable to vehicle safety equipment, and new patrol unit purchases present a low-friction deployment window. Acting now reduces liability risk, strengthens deputy safety, and aligns with current grant availability and fleet expansion timing.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & Cybersecurity Posture Strengthening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A growing fleet of rugged deputy laptops has expanded the endpoint footprint without centralized management in place, increasing exposure to cyber threats. Cybersecurity training is mandated, and the absence of unified endpoint oversight creates operational and compliance risk for law enforcement data and systems.
The opportunity
A confirmed cybersecurity grant allocation and proposed increases in IT service and hardware budgets signal readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint management now reduces risk, supports compliance with mandated training requirements, and positions the agency to responsibly steward growing technology investments.
