Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This post lacks a documented post-level Emergency Operations Plan, has no recorded after-action reviews, and exhibits coordination gaps during incidents. Recent severe weather declarations have heightened urgency, and NIMS implementation is required to maintain eligibility for federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
EMPG/FEMA compliance timelines create a near-term driver to confirm EOP and emergency communications capabilities before funding access is jeopardized. Significant state public safety budget increases provide a strong financial environment to close preparedness gaps and reduce operational and compliance risk now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented mass-notification systems across township and county levels create inconsistency, integration gaps, and coordination risk during emergencies. Consolidating to a unified, interoperable platform is critical to meeting NIMS compliance requirements and ensuring reliable public alerting during severe weather and other incidents.
The opportunity
EMPG/FEMA compliance timelines and active grant windows—including HSGP—create near-term funding pathways with strong alignment to emergency communications upgrades. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk, supports preparedness mandates, and strengthens coordinated response outcomes for residents and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's adoption of WCAG 2.1 Level AA creates an ongoing compliance mandate for all state entities, including MSP posts. Failure to meet these standards exposes the post to legal liability and limits equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
The compliance obligation is continuous, making any fiscal cycle an appropriate window to act—particularly when remediation can be staged by risk severity. Procurement through existing state cooperative contracts reduces friction and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The post faces ongoing operational risk and historical agency-level liability exposure from patrol incidents, with MSP vehicle inspection compliance requirements creating a clear mandate for fleet oversight. An active BEV patrol pilot signals a broader fleet modernization posture, making this a timely moment to address safety and compliance gaps.
The opportunity
COPS TEP and JAG grant programs explicitly fund law enforcement fleet safety and telematics equipment, providing a direct funding pathway within the current grant cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and MiDEAL can accelerate acquisition and reduce administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Identity Access Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise credential management solution is currently in place, creating a measurable identity security gap across law enforcement operations. Active cybersecurity programs and in-car connectivity upgrades signal a modernization posture where unmanaged credentials represent an elevated and immediate operational risk.
The opportunity
JAG funding explicitly covers IT and cybersecurity equipment, providing a direct and accessible funding path for this initiative. Addressing this gap now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance with law enforcement IT standards, and aligns with the current fiscal environment and an IT software budget exceeding $30M.
