Criminal Justice Cybersecurity & Password Compliance Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · Criminal Justice IT
High Priority
About this project
Knox County faces an active Texas cybersecurity compliance obligation requiring documented password security controls for criminal-justice information systems, with no evidenced solution currently in place. This gap creates direct regulatory and operational risk, leaving sensitive law enforcement data and systems exposed to potential breach or audit failure.
The opportunity
The approaching fiscal year-end (September 30, 2026), a new Sheriff's decision window, and an active JAG Local Formula grant — which explicitly covers IT management and cybersecurity for criminal-justice systems — create a time-sensitive, funded path to close this compliance gap. Purchases under $100,000 qualify for informal procurement, enabling faster action before the fiscal deadline.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue and non-compliant with formal review mandates, placing federal grant eligibility at risk. An existing mass-notification platform with uncertain contract status compounds operational continuity concerns for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A funded county strategic priority for emergency management and 911 resilience, combined with a new Sheriff's decision window and an approaching fiscal year-end, creates immediate momentum for action. Resolving EOP non-compliance now protects federal funding eligibility and strengthens community preparedness outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass-notification platform has an unknown contract status, leaving critical public alert capabilities in an uncertain state. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, this gap exposes the county to operational failure and potential loss of federal grant eligibility during emergencies.
The opportunity
A new Sheriff's review of communications technology and an approaching fiscal year-end (September 2026) create an immediate window to act. Rural public safety grant funding and cooperative purchasing options may reduce local cost burden while closing a documented compliance and readiness gap.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline with documented gaps across public-facing digital portals. Unresolved accessibility barriers create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates a defined, non-negotiable compliance window, making this an immediate budget and planning priority. Remediating gaps in a phased approach by severity reduces legal risk, supports digital modernization goals, and may align with available state or federal funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has an active, budget-approved fleet modernization program, yet the absence of dash cameras or telematics creates a liability-evidence gap and limits operational visibility. Rising automobile liability and physical damage costs signal growing financial exposure without documented safety controls in place.
The opportunity
Budget-approved funding and a $250,000 rural law-enforcement grant (SB22) provide a clear near-term funding path, while the fiscal year-end deadline of September 30, 2026 creates urgency to commit resources. A newly appointed Sheriff's active review of fleet priorities further strengthens the window for action.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Office Endpoint Visibility and Cyber Compliance
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office currently lacks an identified endpoint management or monitoring solution, leaving criminal-justice information systems without documented IT visibility or control. Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates require robust endpoint oversight, and the absence of a verified tooling baseline elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The JAG Local Formula grant explicitly covers IT management for criminal-justice information systems, offering a direct funding path ahead of the fiscal year-end deadline of September 30, 2026. A new Sheriff's decision window and a sub-$100,000 deal structure can accelerate procurement while aligning with current compliance obligations.
