Municipal Mass Notification Infrastructure Deployment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Saint Joseph currently lacks a dedicated municipal mass-notification platform, relying on countywide dispatch and a shared county system — creating critical coordination gaps. With documented severe weather exposure and no EOC alerting infrastructure, the city faces elevated operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing in July 2026 represents a defined decision window, and a recent City Manager transition creates favorable conditions for new technology initiatives. Establishing dedicated alerting infrastructure now reduces liability exposure and strengthens public safety outcomes ahead of the next severe weather season.
Emergency Operations Plan Review and Validation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is of unknown age and unvalidated status, leaving it potentially out of compliance with Tennessee county emergency plan requirements and NIMS obligations. Operating without a current EOP exposes the city to legal liability, coordination failures, and heightened operational risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
A new City Manager transition and an approaching July 2026 budget cycle create a near-term window to scope and fund a formal EOP review. Acting now addresses compliance obligations, reduces liability exposure, and positions the city ahead of the FY 2026–2027 planning process.
Fleet Safety Baseline Program for Public Safety Fleets
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Saint Joseph Police Department currently lacks documented fleet incident data, telematics usage, claims history, and driver safety controls, creating an unquantified operational and liability exposure. Without a baseline monitoring program, the department has no visibility into vehicle safety risks or driver behavior patterns.
The opportunity
The July 2026 FY 2026–2027 budget hearing and a recent leadership transition create a timely opening to introduce fleet safety as part of a broader public safety technology modernization effort. Establishing a baseline now reduces unknown liability exposure and positions the department for future grant alignment in the public safety funding environment.
