Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Local Emergency Operations Plan is 8 years old and critically overdue for review, while communication dead spots, missing hazard event data, and fragmented notification systems leave the academy with significant gaps in emergency preparedness and staff safety.
The opportunity
A $124,310 wildfire-planning grant is already allocated for emergency management, and active grant applications are underway — making this an ideal moment to consolidate notification systems and close preparedness gaps ahead of the FY2027 budget hearing.

About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces active compliance mandates around password management and lacks automated asset discovery, creating measurable gaps in countywide cybersecurity posture. Without modernized access management and endpoint visibility, operational systems and sensitive law enforcement data remain at elevated risk.
The opportunity
A designated JAG allocation and proposed FY2026–2027 budget line for cybersecurity and access management create a well-funded, near-term entry point. Acting within this fiscal window advances compliance, reduces operational risk, and positions the countywide modernization initiative for sustained impact.

About this project
The academy has identified active WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA compliance gaps across its web presence, with PDF remediation efforts already underway. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to digital services ahead of the April 2027 compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The April 2027 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline is firm and non-negotiable, and the proposed FY2026–2027 budget explicitly allocates funding for website development. Acting now allows the academy to remediate gaps systematically, reduce legal risk, and align spending with an active budget cycle.

About this project
The academy has a documented history of fleet-involved accidents and liability lawsuits, and currently carries self-insurance, amplifying financial exposure from future incidents. A gap in telematics and dash camera coverage leaves driver behavior unmonitored and incident response without evidentiary support.
The opportunity
The Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority Taskforce Grant offers an indirect funding pathway, and an active vehicle replacement initiative creates a natural entry point for telematics integration. Addressing this gap now reduces liability exposure and strengthens operational accountability ahead of the upcoming FY budget cycle.
