Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent fatal pedestrian collision involving an agency vehicle, combined with public scrutiny of high-risk operations, has exposed critical gaps in fleet safety and telematics capabilities. The absence of modern fleet management technology increases liability, operational risk, and accountability concerns for the agency and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget is active, and multiple grant deadlines in July 2026—including programs explicitly covering fleet safety and telematics—create a near-term funding window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling expedited procurement and faster time to improved safety outcomes.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Update and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency's Emergency Operations Plan has not been substantively updated since 2018, with a compliance deadline of September 2025 now passed. NIMS implementation is a mandatory prerequisite for preparedness funding eligibility, and continued inaction increases both operational risk and exposure to grant disqualification.
The opportunity
The overdue EOP creates immediate compliance and funding risk that can be remediated within the active FY2026 budget cycle. Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines, including preparedness-focused federal opportunities, provide near-term funding alignment with limited local match requirements, making this an urgent, high-return investment in public safety readiness.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency operates two separate mass-notification platforms, creating coordination gaps that reduce effectiveness during emergencies. This fragmented ecosystem undermines unified public communication and conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements tied to an overdue EOP review.
The opportunity
Grant windows opening in July 2026—including preparedness and public safety funding streams—support consolidation efforts, and cooperative purchasing programs can accelerate procurement. Acting now closes a critical compliance gap and strengthens coordinated emergency response before the next incident cycle.
Public Safety Camera Program Modernization
Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
A public safety camera program has been identified as a high-urgency strategic initiative following a recent pedestrian fatality and heightened public scrutiny of high-risk operations. Gaps in surveillance infrastructure elevate operational risk and underscore the need for modernized emergency management capabilities.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines — including programs supporting public safety technology — provide a clear funding window aligned with active procurement signals. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes funding eligibility and advances community safety and accountability outcomes.
IT Modernization and Endpoint Security Upgrade
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county faces aging endpoint management infrastructure, an incumbent vendor displacement opportunity, and active cybersecurity mandates requiring improved security posture. Past vendor accountability concerns and an identity management integration gap with existing SSO infrastructure elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Multiple county technology contracts expire within 12 months, creating natural renewal and modernization windows aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now supports compliance with county cybersecurity mandates, reduces service delivery risk, and positions the county to leverage cooperative purchasing programs already in use.
