Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Basic Emergency Operations Plan is aging, lacks documented after-action findings from recurring disaster events, and carries undocumented mass-notification performance gaps. Tennessee law mandates a current county EM plan subject to TEMA review, creating an active compliance obligation with direct risk to public safety continuity.
The opportunity
A pending Sheriff leadership transition in September 2026 creates a natural window to advance modernization before new priorities are set. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to close compliance gaps, strengthen community preparedness, and align with capital fund capacity recently added to the county budget.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates fragmented mass notification systems with undocumented contract terms and unverified performance metrics, while a separate citizen connect platform runs independently through the Sheriff's Office. This fragmentation creates communication gaps, complicates Tennessee-mandated emergency planning compliance, and leaves residents underserved during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A renewal decision window within 18 months creates near-term urgency to evaluate platform consolidation before contracts auto-renew on unfavorable terms. Acting now aligns with active capital fund growth and an incoming leadership transition, both of which favor initiating technology improvements ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Center has identified a weather-surveillance upgrade as its top strategic priority, driven by recurring disaster exposure and the absence of documented after-action findings. These gaps reduce situational awareness and create compliance risk under Tennessee's county emergency management planning requirements.
The opportunity
A Capital Fund addition of over $2 million signals near-term budget capacity, and an incoming leadership transition in September 2026 creates a timely window to formalize and advance this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports TEMA compliance, strengthens EOC readiness, and reduces operational risk to residents.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has sustained multiple serious fleet-involved crashes injuring deputies and an inmate in 2025 and 2026, with no verified telematics or dash-camera systems currently in place. This gap creates significant safety, liability, and operational risk for the agency and the public it serves.
The opportunity
An active annual vehicle replacement cycle provides a natural procurement entry point, and anticipated road repair projects with substantial federal and state funding coverage may indirectly support fleet safety investments. An incoming Sheriff taking office in 2026 further opens a timely window for new safety initiatives.
