Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and faces uncertainty in mass notification coverage during a county-level vendor transition. Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS mandates carry real compliance consequences, and recent county EOC activation due to flooding underscores the operational risk of these gaps.
The opportunity
Multiple grants with 2026 deadlines—including hazard mitigation and preparedness funding streams—are directly aligned to this initiative, with cooperative purchasing available to streamline procurement. New leadership in both Police and Fire Departments creates a favorable window to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township depends entirely on a county-managed mass notification system currently undergoing a vendor transition, creating potential service gaps during critical incidents. With no independently managed notification capability and EOP/NIMS compliance requirements under Michigan Publication 201, operational and regulatory risk is elevated.
The opportunity
Recent county EOC activation due to flooding and an active system transition underscore the urgency of establishing resilient, township-controlled notification capabilities. Relevant grant programs with 2026 deadlines and cooperative procurement pathways support cost-effective action aligned with current EOP review and NIMS compliance cycles.
Police Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Health Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current police fleet operations lack telematics visibility into driver behavior and vehicle health, creating measurable liability and maintenance risk. Without real-time data, the township cannot ensure officer safety, manage fleet lifecycle effectively, or support active EV readiness and vehicle acquisition planning.
The opportunity
Fleet acquisition cycles and EV transition planning create a timely entry point for integrated telematics adoption, with cooperative purchasing programs available to streamline procurement. Relevant grant funding aligned with law enforcement technology—including COPS TEP and JAG—carries 2026 deadlines, making near-term action essential to capture available resources.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Cyber Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A county-level password standard exists, but township-level enforcement is unverified, leaving department systems and data at unquantified risk. Without documented endpoint management practices, the township faces potential compliance gaps and exposure to cyber threats across public safety operations.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions in both Police and Fire Departments create a timely opening to establish foundational cybersecurity controls. Relevant grant funding is available in the current cycle, and acting now reduces operational risk while aligning with county compliance expectations ahead of the next fiscal period.
