Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately 18 years old and critically overdue for review, creating direct risks to grant eligibility, operational readiness, and resident safety. Recognized gaps in flood early warning capability and mass notification coverage compound the urgency, while funded regional initiatives—including a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan update and a mutual aid agreement—demand a current, compliant EOP as a foundation.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget adoption is imminent, with $81,185 already proposed for Emergency Management—including $75,000 in capital outlay—creating a rare, time-bound funding window. New leadership alignment through the incoming Police Chief, who also serves as Emergency Management Coordinator, positions this as the highest-priority initiative to advance operational readiness and protect long-term grant eligibility.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an active statutory cybersecurity training requirement with a near-term compliance deadline, elevating operational and legal risk. With a compliance urgency score of 5 and $48,430 already allocated to public safety technology, the gap between current posture and mandated standards is both measurable and time-sensitive.
The opportunity
Two federal grant opportunities with deadlines in September and October 2026 explicitly support law enforcement technology and cybersecurity initiatives, with funding potential up to $700,000. Acting ahead of the September 8 budget adoption aligns investment with available appropriations and strengthens the department's compliance standing and operational resilience.
BJA FY 2026 LLECC Integration Initiative
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards by 2028, and current infrastructure shows gaps that elevate legal and compliance risk. Failure to remediate limits equitable public access to government services and exposes the entity to potential civil rights liability.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle provides a natural planning window to scope and fund remediation before the 2028 deadline. Acting now allows the department to phase costs, leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use, and ensure uninterrupted, equitable digital service delivery.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Readiness Assessment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, creating an evidence and oversight gap across its fleet. While no recent loss events have been recorded, the absence of safety technology leaves the department without data to support accountability, liability defense, or operational improvement.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership is actively reviewing operations, creating a natural window to address latent fleet safety gaps before an incident occurs. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the department can simplify and accelerate procurement within the upcoming fiscal cycle.
