Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent multi-vehicle crash involving police officers has exposed a critical gap in fleet safety technology, with no confirmed dash-camera or telematics systems currently in place. Ongoing vehicle replacements and an active anti-idling policy signal a broader fleet modernization need, while the absence of integrated safety tools elevates liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget explicitly funds new police vehicles and camera upgrades, and the COPS TEP grant—with a July 2026 deadline—directly covers vehicle telematics and fleet safety hardware. Acting within this window allows the department to close a documented safety gap using available public safety funding with minimal budget impact.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The organization lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and shows gaps in NIMS compliance, while its mass notification platform is mid-transition—creating continuity and coordination risk. Recent infrastructure incidents and declared emergencies have heightened public scrutiny and underscore the urgency of closing these preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
Active grant cycles—including HSGP and BRIC—with near-term deadlines offer viable funding pathways for emergency preparedness improvements with limited local match required. Addressing EOP gaps and notification platform continuity now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current fiscal planning windows.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing mass notification platform is being replaced amid recent infrastructure incidents that have eroded public trust and exposed gaps in reliable, integrated alerting. This active transition creates compliance and operational continuity risk if the replacement system is not fully capable and interoperable.
The opportunity
The ongoing procurement cycle and alignment with emergency preparedness grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC present timely funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant window strengthens public safety outcomes, supports compliance mandates, and restores community confidence.
Enterprise Password Management & Identity Security
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The department operates within a Microsoft 365 environment but lacks centralized credential management, creating an identity security gap that elevates compliance and breach risk. Without an enterprise password manager, credential sprawl exposes sensitive systems and data to unauthorized access.
The opportunity
Budget has already been allocated for MFA and cybersecurity controls, signaling an active and funded procurement cycle aligned with current fiscal planning. Closing this identity security gap now reduces audit exposure, strengthens compliance posture, and protects public data and staff systems.
Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization and Controls Upgrade
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Budget-approved initiatives for firewall upgrades, email security, and multi-factor authentication signal active cybersecurity gaps requiring remediation. Without completed controls, the organization faces elevated exposure to breaches, audit findings, and disruption to public-facing services and staff operations.
The opportunity
With nearly $500K in annual IT and software spend and funded initiatives already approved, the current fiscal cycle presents a clear window to advance cybersecurity controls and reduce operational risk. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may further streamline procurement and accelerate implementation timelines.
VoIP & Secure Communications Modernization for Public Safety
IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP is underway for VoIP phone service and equipment, with the Police Department included under CJIS security requirements. Gaps in compliant communications infrastructure elevate operational and regulatory risk for public safety personnel and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
A defined procurement cycle is already in motion, with requirements scoped and timelines set — making this an immediate window to advance compliant, mission-critical communications. Eligible entities may leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles or state and federal funding pathways to reduce local cost burden and accelerate deployment.
