Fleet Telematics & Officer Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol vehicle accident resulting in officer injuries has exposed a critical gap in fleet visibility and driver risk management. The department currently lacks telematics and driver coaching tools, and a Michigan Executive Directive mandates fleet conversion, compounding compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
Secured federal funding of $375,000 for police technology and active grant deadlines in July 2026 create an immediate procurement window. Acting within the current FY2026–27 budget cycle enables the department to reduce crash risk, meet state compliance mandates, and leverage cooperative purchasing for a streamlined acquisition path.
Formalize Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available agency-specific Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear coordination lines with county emergency management, and shows no evidence of HSEEP-compliant exercises. Tornadoes and flooding in April 2026 exposed these gaps in real time, and NIMS compliance remains a prerequisite for accessing emergency preparedness funding.
The opportunity
Active grant windows closing in July 2026 (HSGP, BRIC) directly fund emergency management improvements, with limited local match typically required. Recent declared emergencies and leadership transitions at the county level make formalizing coordination protocols and exercise documentation an immediate operational and compliance priority.
Cybersecurity & Identity Access Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active remote-access policy mandating strong passwords and multi-factor authentication creates a clear, unmet compliance obligation for identity and access management. Without the right tooling in place, the department faces elevated risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and audit findings.
The opportunity
Secured federal technology funding and the approaching FY2026–27 budget cycle create a timely and viable path to address this compliance gap. Acting now aligns procurement with available funds, reduces operational risk, and strengthens the department's overall security posture.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties have an acknowledged WCAG/ADA accessibility gap, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. The current website platform relationship may not fully satisfy compliance requirements, leaving the organization at risk of complaints or enforcement action.
The opportunity
Active compliance commitments create a near-term remediation window aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle and cooperative procurement vehicles are confirmed, reducing acquisition complexity. Addressing accessibility gaps now protects public trust, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Despite an existing mass notification platform, recent declared emergencies—including April 2026 tornadoes and flooding—have exposed preparedness gaps and raised questions about communication reliability. NIMS compliance requirements and unclear coordination lines elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Emergency preparedness grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, have deadlines approaching in July 2026 and may fund communication system improvements with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window strengthens community resilience, supports compliance, and aligns with active FY2026–27 budget deliberations.
Unified Endpoint & Camera System Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Saginaw Police Department operates multiple disparate camera systems and aging IT infrastructure, creating integration gaps and operational risk. Secured federal funding of $375,000 designates this technology modernization effort as a top departmental priority, with unified device and endpoint management as a core need.
The opportunity
With $375,000 in federal funding already secured and announced, this project is immediately actionable within the current fiscal cycle. The upcoming FY2026–27 budget vote and a potential ballot initiative to expand local revenue further strengthen the long-term funding outlook for public safety technology investments.
