Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has discontinued warning sirens, lacks a local Emergency Operations Plan, and depends entirely on county-level mass notification with no local redundancy. A recent Presidential Major Disaster Declaration has intensified NIMS compliance obligations and exposed critical gaps in local emergency response capability.
The opportunity
A budget-approved increase for disaster preparedness and an active federal disaster declaration open reimbursement pathways for mass-notification and EOP upgrades within a 90-day engagement window. Acting now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens resident safety before the next emergency event.

Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks fleet telematics and in-vehicle camera coverage, creating liability exposure and accountability gaps despite existing body-worn camera use. Public scrutiny of police operations and proactive risk management are driving the need for a comprehensive vehicle-level safety and documentation solution.
The opportunity
The JAG grant program presents a direct funding pathway for fleet safety technology, with a deadline falling within the current 90-day window. Recent leadership transitions create a timely opening to advance this initiative, and a dedicated $45,000 public safety tech budget signals available local capacity to act now.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township operates a split IT ecosystem with no documented evidence of password security controls or cybersecurity mandates being met, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. With $333,575 in annual IT and software spend, the gap between current posture and required standards represents a growing liability for staff and public data.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions create a timely opening to re-evaluate existing systems and align cybersecurity investments with current mandates, and the JAG program offers a viable secondary funding path. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the township to close compliance gaps and reduce risk before they escalate.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's participation in Kalamazoo County consolidated dispatch creates critical technology coordination gaps between local and county emergency management systems. Discontinued warning sirens, the absence of a township-specific EOP, and reliance on county-level mass notification without local redundancy elevate operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
The 2026 Adopted Budget is active, a recent Presidential Major Disaster Declaration has opened federal reimbursement pathways, and budget-approved disaster response funding increases create a strong near-term window. Addressing integration and preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens local emergency response outcomes.
