Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Oakland Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and After Action Reviews, while relying on county-level mass notification rather than its own system. A recent water main break underscores the real-world risk, and NIMS compliance mandates create clear, pressing deadlines.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs directly align with preparedness infrastructure needs, offering accessible funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and reduces operational and liability risk for the Township.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates a fragmented emergency notification ecosystem split between township and county platforms, reducing reliability and reach during critical incidents. This dependency on county infrastructure, combined with documented emergency preparedness gaps and NIMS compliance mandates, elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP funding aligns directly with communications modernization and mass notification consolidation, creating a near-term funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces fragmentation risk, strengthens incident response, and advances the township's strategic communications modernization priorities.
Endpoint Security and Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's aging endpoint security environment and expiring IT service contracts create an active and near-term decision window. CJIS and HIPAA compliance obligations, combined with a Microsoft O365 and Azure footprint, elevate the risk of unmanaged endpoints and unauthorized access to sensitive public data.
The opportunity
Upcoming contract expirations align with the current fiscal planning cycle, and cybersecurity initiatives of this type are eligible for HSGP, COPS TEP, and JAG funding. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens data protection, and positions the township to leverage available grant resources before the window closes.
Fleet Safety & Incident Documentation Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township is managing insurance costs significantly over budget and has experienced an undocumented vehicle accident, creating financial strain and unresolved liability exposure. Lack of consistent incident documentation across fleet and field operations also raises transparency concerns, particularly as technology deployment faces public scrutiny.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs present a clear ROI case for fleet safety and telematics investment, and county-level budget increases for public safety and road projects may create a favorable spillover funding environment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle can reduce liability exposure, improve operational accountability, and support cost recovery through eligible procurement pathways.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing web portals do not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents. Unresolved compliance gaps risk civil rights complaints and erode public trust in service delivery.
The opportunity
Addressing WCAG 2.1 compliance aligns with the current IT modernization focus and upcoming contract decision windows, making this an actionable priority within the near-term fiscal cycle. Remediation reduces legal liability, broadens resident access, and may qualify for state or federal digital equity funding.
