Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority carries a critically low emergency preparedness score, with no publicly posted EOP, no dedicated mass notification system, and limited after-action documentation. Outstanding NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 compliance mandates elevate regulatory and operational risk for staff, the public, and airport operations.
The opportunity
New leadership and active investment in emergency services signal organizational readiness, while the FY 2026 COPS TEP grant represents a high-potential funding match for this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal window advances compliance, strengthens public safety outcomes, and reduces exposure before the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority's current mass notification platform presents reliability and coverage gaps, with no documented airport-level emergency communication system for staff or the public. Compliance mandates under NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 require coordinated notification capabilities, and the absence of a current, publicly posted EOP elevates operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Increased budget allocations for emergency services, alignment with state and federal preparedness mandates, and available cooperative purchasing vehicles create a strong case for acting within the current fiscal cycle. Modernizing now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the authority to leverage eligible funding pathways.
FY 2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Enterprise Password & Cybersecurity Access Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Despite active Microsoft 365 usage, no documented enterprise password manager is in place, creating a critical access control gap. County-level cybersecurity mandates carry noted enforcement gaps, and the IT fund's transition to internal management has increased exposure across systems and staff.
The opportunity
The IT fund transition and expanded cybersecurity budget create a near-term window to close access management gaps before audit or incident risk escalates. JAG and COPS TEP grants are identified funding matches for cyber infrastructure, aligning with the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Internal IT Infrastructure Buildout and Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The authority's shift from outsourced to in-house IT management introduces new service delivery complexity and endpoint visibility gaps. Concurrent upgrades to financial and payroll systems heighten the need for centralized, documented IT management tooling to ensure operational continuity and accountability.
The opportunity
The active IT transition and increased IT fund budget create a time-sensitive entry point to establish foundational endpoint management capabilities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and alignment with the current fiscal cycle supports efficient use of allocated IT resources.
FY 2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Readiness
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces WCAG 2.1 AA mandates for web and digital content accessibility, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Compliance gaps remain unresolved, and without a structured remediation plan, the risk of enforcement action or litigation increases.
The opportunity
A planned 2027 budget allocation establishes a defined fiscal window to act, and early engagement ahead of that cycle allows for deliberate, competitive evaluation. Existing CMS infrastructure provides a natural integration path, reducing implementation complexity and supporting responsible use of public funds.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently lacks dashcam and telematics capabilities, creating a gap in fleet visibility, driver accountability, and safety monitoring. Active fleet-related spending signals budget engagement, though no recent accidents elevate immediate urgency, making this a proactive rather than reactive compliance need.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 COPS TEP grant explicitly supports fleet telematics adoption in law enforcement contexts, offering a viable funding pathway with limited local match. Addressing this gap now aligns with active procurement cycles and positions the authority ahead of future safety and accountability mandates.
