Emergency Operations Plan Development & EM Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, has an unclear or absent Emergency Management Coordinator, and a recent reorganization has disrupted regional coordination. These gaps create direct compliance risk under NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan's mandated biennial EOP review cycle.
The opportunity
NIMS and Michigan's biennial EOP review create non-discretionary compliance deadlines, while the BRIC grant offers a supplementary funding avenue with limited local match required. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit exposure, restores regional coordination, and strengthens community preparedness ahead of the next review cycle.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented mass notification ecosystem — with separate systems operating at the municipal and county levels — undermines coordinated emergency communications across jurisdictions. This split creates operational risk, complicates compliance with NIMS and biennial EOP review mandates, and leaves gaps in public alerting during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Consolidating notification infrastructure now aligns with active emergency preparedness compliance timelines and strengthens cross-jurisdictional response coordination. This effort is eligible for state and federal emergency management funding, and addressing fragmentation during the current planning cycle reduces both operational risk and long-term costs to the public.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Oversight
Fleet Management · Public Safety Accountability
High Priority
About this project
The department operates with limited fleet oversight capabilities, a documented history of equipment misuse, and identified liability exposure — risks amplified by its small, single-officer structure. These gaps create measurable safety and accountability deficiencies in day-to-day vehicle and in-field operations.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG), with a deadline of July 21, 2026, directly supports fleet-safety and in-vehicle telematics investments for police departments. Acting within this grant window reduces liability exposure, strengthens public accountability, and advances mission outcomes with limited local match required.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps with no remediation plan in place. The underlying CMS is unknown, suggesting broader digital infrastructure assessment may be needed before remediation can begin.
The opportunity
A federal compliance deadline of 2028 creates a defined planning window, and acting now allows for phased remediation within current budget cycles. Cooperative procurement vehicles may streamline acquisition and reduce local cost burden.
