911 Dispatch Endpoint Modernization & CJIS Compliance
Public Safety IT · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Communications Center operates 250+ aging workstations with unsupported endpoints that are out of compliance with CJIS Security Policy Version 6.0, with a deadline that passed in December 2024. A prior failed CAD/records-management implementation has heightened the urgency for reliable, modern infrastructure supporting 911 dispatch and records operations.
The opportunity
A confirmed $1.2M federal award targeting 911 dispatch, records management, and desktop infrastructure—combined with a September 2026 budget decision window and FY27 IT budget increases—creates a near-term, funded path to resolve compliance gaps and reduce operational risk. A newly appointed CIO signals institutional readiness to evaluate and advance modernization initiatives now.

High Priority
About this project
The CJIS Security Policy Version 6.0 compliance deadline has passed, leaving 911 dispatch and endpoint environments exposed through fragmented credential management and aging infrastructure. Unresolved gaps in a criminal justice information environment elevate both operational and regulatory risk for staff, residents, and partner agencies.
The opportunity
A confirmed $1.2M federal award and an active state cybersecurity grant application provide clear, near-term funding paths. With a September 2026 budget decision window and FY27 IT fund growth, acting now aligns remediation with available resources and reduces compounding compliance and security risk.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Communications Center lacks a confirmed EOP revision and has no documented after-action review following a major flood event, leaving response gaps unaddressed. A fragmented mass notification ecosystem across multiple channels limits coordinated public alerting, while active Hazard Mitigation Plan and EOC initiatives require integrated technology support.
The opportunity
Federal public safety communications funding and aligned emergency management grant programs are available within the current fiscal cycle, with a September 2026 budget decision window creating near-term urgency. Consolidating alerting and EOP infrastructure now reduces operational risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the agency to steward grant funds effectively.
FY 2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027, and while the public-facing website is in progress, document-level accessibility gaps remain unaddressed. These gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government information and services.
The opportunity
The defined 2027 deadline creates a clear remediation window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles, and document accessibility improvements may be eligible for state or federal funding support. Acting now allows for phased implementation, reduces legal risk, and ensures all residents can access public services equitably.
