Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
TJJD's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified and potentially outdated, and the agency has no identified mass-notification platform—a gap exposed when a significant August 2026 security incident triggered statewide lockdowns managed only through manual email. This operational failure presents serious public safety and continuity risk for staff, youth in custody, and the communities TJJD serves.
The opportunity
With $2.25M in annual IT spend allocated to emergency management and public safety technology, dedicated budget capacity exists to act now—ahead of the next legislative budget cycle. Federal grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness and homeland security offer additional funding pathways to close these gaps with limited local match required.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
TJJD faces active TAC 202 audit remediation mandates and information-security planning requirements with 2026 deadlines, creating immediate remediation pressure. The agency's existing credential management environment is fragmented, elevating operational risk across secure facilities and staff systems.
The opportunity
The 2026 TAC 202 compliance deadline and a Board-approved $21.8M technology modernization request entering the legislative budget cycle in January 2027 create a narrow, high-stakes window for action. Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding offers an eligible pathway to offset costs, and engaging now positions the agency to remediate audit findings, strengthen credential controls, and align with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
TJJD has active, funded initiatives for a computer refresh and secure-facility endpoint and connectivity modernization, with a new facility activation creating additional infrastructure demands. A broader $21.8M technology modernization request—covering data protection and infrastructure refresh—is pending the legislative budget cycle, and recent audit deficiencies elevate remediation urgency.
The opportunity
Funded computer refresh and facility activation efforts signal near-term procurement readiness, while the legislative budget cycle opening in January 2027 creates a strategic planning window. This project is eligible for justice-focused federal grant funding and aligns with active TAC 202 compliance remediation deadlines in 2026.
Physical Security & Body-Worn Camera System Modernization
Public Safety · Facility Security
High Priority
About this project
TJJD has Board-approved funding of $18.3M for security camera and body-worn camera enhancements, with an active BWC procurement underway that includes cybersecurity requirements. The existing BWC contract expires in December 2027, and a $66M public safety investment budget—including $20.1M for security cameras—creates both urgency and a defined replacement window.
The opportunity
A large appropriations request entering the January 2027 legislative cycle sets a near-term deadline for positioning investments before budgets are finalized. Acting within the current procurement window ensures continuity of BWC coverage, supports audit remediation, and aligns capital requests with available public safety funding.

Web Accessibility · Digital Records Modernization
High Priority
About this project
TJJD must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance by an April 2027 deadline, with digital records management and incident reporting identified as strategic gaps. These initiatives remain partially unfunded, creating operational and compliance risk as the legislative budget cycle approaches.
The opportunity
The April 2027 WCAG deadline creates near-term urgency, and a broader technology modernization budget request currently moving through the legislative cycle may provide a viable funding path. Acting now positions TJJD to meet compliance requirements, reduce audit exposure, and advance document workflow modernization within the upcoming fiscal window.
Fleet Refresh and Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
TJJD operates an aging fleet with a significant replacement backlog and a funded $6.3M vehicle refresh initiative, yet lacks dash cameras, telematics, and fleet-specific monitoring. As a self-insured agency for tort and liability claims, the absence of safety and tracking technology creates meaningful risk management exposure.
The opportunity
Active vehicle refresh funding creates a timely window to bundle safety and telematics capabilities into procurement, reducing liability exposure and strengthening operational oversight. Bundling now avoids a secondary procurement cycle and aligns with the agency's current budget authority and public safety investment priorities.
