Fleet Modernization & Officer Safety Initiative
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department sustains hundreds of vehicle crashes annually, with a significant share attributed to officer-at-fault incidents and a fleet largely past its useful life. This combination of aging assets and recurring collisions creates critical safety, liability, and operational continuity risk for the agency and the public it serves.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes approved allocations for public safety capital projects and police technology, creating an active funding window for fleet modernization. Recent leadership transitions in key operational roles signal openness to new initiatives, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may simplify and accelerate procurement.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
MPD's Emergency Response Plan is overdue, and the current mass notification system relies on opt-in enrollment, leaving critical coverage gaps across the community. NIMS adoption requirements tied to emergency management grant eligibility compound the compliance and operational preparedness risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $11 million allocated to emergency management and public safety technology, and a FEMA grant for regional warning systems may offer additional funding alignment. Acting within this fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No incumbent cybersecurity or password management solutions are currently in place, creating a greenfield compliance and operational risk. FY2027 budget allocations explicitly include cybersecurity upgrades, and active compliance mandates reference password security requirements for public safety operations.
The opportunity
Newly approved FY2027 cybersecurity funding and recent IT leadership transitions signal an active evaluation window with strong institutional readiness. Addressing password management and cybersecurity gaps now reduces breach risk, supports compliance mandates, and aligns with current budget cycles before allocations are committed.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City of Memphis has active WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility goals for public-facing web properties, with a federal compliance deadline creating hard legal and reputational risk if unmet. Gaps in digital accessibility limit equitable public access to city services and expose the city to potential civil liability.
The opportunity
The federal WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a clear, time-bound forcing function for procurement, and FY2027 IT infrastructure budget allocations provide a funded pathway to act now. Addressing compliance proactively reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable digital access for all Memphis residents.
Modernizing IT Endpoint & Systems Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
With no entrenched endpoint or IT management incumbents, the organization faces elevated cybersecurity exposure across a significant infrastructure footprint. Budget-approved IT and cybersecurity initiatives, alongside nearly $28 million in annual IT spend, signal both urgency and readiness to address systemic management gaps.
The opportunity
Newly approved FY2027 budget allocations for IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, combined with recent IT leadership transitions, create an actionable window to establish modern endpoint and systems management. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns investment with approved funding and reduces operational and security risk.
