Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A $50M wrongful-death civil claim involving a police vehicle has exposed critical gaps in fleet telematics and in-vehicle evidence collection. Without documented dash-cam or real-time telematics data, the authority faces significant liability exposure and limited ability to defend against current or future claims.
The opportunity
Grant funding through JAG and patrol grant programs—with deadlines as early as July 2026—provides clear, near-term budget pathways for fleet safety investment. Incoming public safety leadership in June 2026 creates a favorable window to advance modernization, reduce liability, and strengthen officer and community accountability.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This agency lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, resulting in a significant preparedness gap. Compliance obligations under Michigan MSP Publication 201 EOP review requirements and NIMS alignment remain unmet, elevating operational and regulatory risk to the community.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP, BRIC, and JAG — with deadlines in July 2026 — explicitly supports emergency management technology and planning initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with an upcoming leadership transition and maximizes eligibility for funding that offsets local costs while closing critical compliance gaps.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority has identified WCAG and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital portals, with a regulatory deadline of April 26, 2027. Non-compliance exposes the organization to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to essential government services.
The opportunity
The fixed April 2027 deadline creates a defined implementation window, making staged remediation by risk severity achievable within current IT budget cycles. Acting now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and allows procurement to align with existing planning activity.
Cybersecurity and Identity Access Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The authority has active cybersecurity initiatives underway, including firewall replacement and staff security briefings, but gaps remain in identity and access management. MFA adoption is cited as a compliance best-practice mandate, and the existing Microsoft 365 environment provides a foundation for structured IAM improvements.
The opportunity
An engaged budget process and upcoming leadership transition in mid-2026 create a timely window to advance identity and access controls before organizational change introduces new risk. JAG and CDBG grant funding trends support public safety infrastructure investments, and this project may align with the current grant cycle for eligible technology initiatives.
Emergency Preparedness Training & Exercise Program Launch
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently lacks any HSEEP-style exercise program, a critical gap in federally aligned emergency preparedness. NIMS alignment mandates and Michigan MSP Publication 201 requirements make structured training and exercise documentation a compliance obligation, not an option.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly fund preparedness training and equipment, offering a near-term, low-local-match funding path. Acting now closes a greenfield compliance gap, satisfies NIMS mandates, and positions the authority ahead of the fiscal deadline.
