Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a dedicated Emergency Operations Plan, leaving personnel and the public exposed during severe weather and other critical incidents. Reliance on a county-managed notification system compounds this gap, while NIMS adoption and Tennessee's EOP framework requirements create active compliance obligations tied to federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Recent institutional approval of both an Airport Master Plan and an Emergency Plan signals active investment in preparedness, creating alignment for EOP development within the current planning cycle. Addressing this gap now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens federal funding eligibility, and reduces operational and liability risk for the department.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a county-managed mass-notification system rather than a dedicated, department-controlled solution, limiting operational control during critical incidents. This gap, combined with the absence of a standalone Emergency Operations Plan, creates measurable preparedness and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
The department's recently approved Emergency Plan signals institutional readiness to close this gap, and NIMS compliance requirements tied to federal grant eligibility add urgency. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the department to strengthen incident response, reduce operational risk, and align with Tennessee's emergency management framework.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's FY 2026-27 budget includes approved police vehicle purchases, yet no telematics or dash-camera systems are currently deployed, leaving a documented gap in driver behavior monitoring and incident documentation. A prior cruiser crash underscores the operational and liability risk of proceeding without fleet safety technology.
The opportunity
Approved vehicle budget line items create a direct funding pathway for fleet safety technology, and the ATTAIN grant program has been identified as potentially applicable for connected-vehicle initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with active vehicle deployment and strengthens officer safety and incident accountability outcomes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces ADA Title II web accessibility mandates requiring conformance with WCAG standards by 2027/2028. With an active public web presence already in place, closing accessibility gaps now is critical to avoid compliance risk and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
The opportunity
The 2027/2028 ADA Title II deadline creates a defined, time-sensitive compliance window that aligns with near-term budget and planning cycles. Acting ahead of the deadline reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and allows for phased implementation within available appropriations.
