Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Mass-notification failures during storms and flooding have exposed critical coordination and operational access gaps, while the current Emergency Operations Plan status remains unclear. NIMS compliance requirements add regulatory urgency, and a fragmented alert ecosystem increases risk to public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
County-level capital approvals for a new Emergency Operations Center and upgraded alert infrastructure signal strong funding momentum aligned with the current budget cycle. Acting now leverages available state and county investments, addresses NIMS compliance, and strengthens coordinated emergency response for residents and staff.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's Public Safety Communications System is mid-cycle in a $6.7M state-funded infrastructure investment, with the reopening of a regional post amplifying the need for reliable, post-level communications capabilities. Mass-notification gaps and unclear Emergency Operations Plan status at the local level elevate operational and NIMS compliance risk during declared emergencies.
The opportunity
State capital approvals are already in place, making this a funded, near-term initiative with limited budget uncertainty. Complementary county-level investments in emergency alerting and operations infrastructure signal a coordinated regional commitment. Acting within the current funding cycle ensures alignment with statewide communications priorities and strengthens public safety readiness.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Identity and Access Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Statewide DTMB/NIST-aligned cybersecurity mandates require identity and access management controls, including password management, creating a non-discretionary compliance obligation for this post. Gaps in these controls elevate risk of unauthorized access, audit findings, and operational exposure across public safety systems.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates create an immediate, budget-justified procurement driver aligned with the current fiscal cycle, and information systems are explicitly listed as allowable costs under applicable grant programs. Acting now reduces audit and security risk while leveraging available funding pathways to minimize local budget impact.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & In-Cab Video Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multi-hundred-thousand dollar statewide settlements involving State Police vehicles signal significant financial liability exposure for the agency. In-cab video and telematics have been identified as tools to reduce disputed fault claims, strengthen accountability, and support risk mitigation across the fleet.
The opportunity
A pilot battery-electric vehicle deployment creates a timely entry point for fleet modernization, and identified grant funding pathways—including programs covering equipment and information systems—support near-term procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and advances public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
State agency websites are subject to ongoing WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility mandates, and unresolved gaps create persistent legal and compliance exposure. Without a structured remediation plan, public-facing digital properties remain at risk of excluding residents with disabilities and failing federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
Digital accessibility compliance is a non-optional, recurring obligation that can be addressed in stages aligned to risk severity and budget cycles. Proactive remediation reduces audit and litigation risk while improving equitable public access to government services.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Visibility and IT Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
With over $30M in annual IT and software spend, this public safety agency faces growing pressure from DTMB/NIST-aligned cybersecurity mandates requiring stronger endpoint visibility and management. Gaps in monitoring and compliance posture elevate operational and audit risk across the organization.
The opportunity
Named grant programs, including those listing information systems as allowable costs, offer viable funding pathways aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint management now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens IT resilience in support of public safety mission continuity.
