Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Stockbridge lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no technology in place to meet Michigan's EOP review, signature, and NIMS alignment mandates. Fragmented mass-notification coverage and no documented exercises compound compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 and a voter-approved public safety millage provide near-term funding pathways to close critical preparedness gaps. New leadership signals openness to re-evaluating priorities, making this an ideal moment to advance compliance and strengthen community emergency response.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system relies on SMS opt-in, leaving significant gaps in public coverage during emergencies. This fragmented approach leaves residents and staff underserved and compounds existing emergency preparedness compliance gaps, including unmet Michigan EOP review and NIMS alignment requirements.
The opportunity
A voter-approved public safety millage and police services special assessment provide accessible, dedicated funding to address this gap now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens community-wide emergency coverage, supports compliance, and aligns with the Village's broader public safety strategic priorities.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Recent high-visibility police vehicle incidents and the absence of dash cameras or telematics expose the department to significant liability and operational risk. Without fleet safety and risk management tooling, the Village lacks the documentation and oversight needed to protect officers, residents, and public funds.
The opportunity
A voter-approved public safety millage and police services special assessment provide dedicated funding for police equipment, and relevant grant deadlines in July 2026 add urgency. New departmental leadership creates a timely opening to establish fleet safety standards that reduce liability and improve accountability.

Public Safety · Organizational Expansion
High Priority
About this project
The Village is actively establishing a Police Services Special Assessment District and evaluating a Police Authority structure, signaling a deliberate expansion of public safety capabilities. Dedicated funding mechanisms are already approved, but supporting operational infrastructure and technology must keep pace with organizational growth.
The opportunity
Voter-approved millage funds and a police services special assessment provide immediate, low-friction procurement capacity aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now allows new leadership to set operational priorities, reduce service delivery gaps, and maximize the impact of dedicated public safety funding.
