Strengthen Privileged Access Controls for CJIS Compliance
Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The department faces immediate compliance pressure tied to CJIS v5.9.5 and upcoming v6.1 requirements, demanding robust credential and privileged access management. Without action, the agency risks audit findings, access violations, and exposure of sensitive law enforcement data.
The opportunity
FY27 budget hearings in September 2026 represent a near-term funding window, and multiple cybersecurity-eligible grants (JAG, HSGP, SLCGP, COPS TEP) are anticipated in Spring 2027. New police leadership creates added openness to technology evaluation, making this an ideal moment to advance compliance and reduce operational risk.
Body-Worn & Fleet Camera System Modernization
Public Safety Technology · Fleet & Surveillance Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's body-worn camera contract expires in November 2026 with renewal discussions stalled, creating an urgent procurement gap alongside unmet needs for expanded vehicle camera coverage and a fragmented ALPR environment. Public accountability expectations and the operational risks of a lapsed or misaligned surveillance ecosystem demand a coordinated, integrated solution.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget hearing in September 2026 and the November 2026 contract expiration create a narrow, time-sensitive window to act. New police leadership, active fleet modernization initiatives, and grant programs aligned to public safety technology support a fiscally responsible path forward this budget cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's current GPS fleet tracking solution is aging and under active review as part of a formal police and city fleet replacement and modernization program. Without updated telematics, departments face gaps in vehicle visibility, accountability, and operational efficiency across both public safety and general fleet assets.
The opportunity
Dedicated fleet replacement reserves and an active FY27 capital budget cycle create a funded, near-term window for action, with cooperative procurement vehicles likely available to streamline acquisition. New public safety leadership further supports technology re-evaluation, making this an ideal moment to advance modernization goals.
Texas DIR
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance as a mandated requirement with a 2028 deadline, with a dedicated accessibility program listed as a strategic initiative. Gaps in accessible digital services create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to city resources.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget cycle presents a near-term window to secure funding for this initiative before the 2028 compliance horizon. Acting now allows the city to remediate accessibility gaps incrementally, reduce legal risk, and ensure digital services are equitable and available to all residents.
Texas DIR
Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has documented age and approval status gaps, with Mitigation Action #30 explicitly mandating an update. Current reliance on split regional mass notification systems creates coverage inconsistency and consolidation risk for timely public alerting.
The opportunity
EMPG and HMGP grant cycles expected in Spring 2027 provide a concrete funding horizon, making now the time to align planning and procurement. Advancing this project supports grant eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city ahead of the next fiscal planning window.
IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active citywide hardware refresh signals a broad renewal of endpoint and infrastructure assets, creating an immediate need for unified IT management and security controls. CJIS compliance mandates and a growing IT software budget underscore the operational and regulatory stakes of leaving endpoint visibility gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget hearing in September 2026 presents a near-term funding window, with additional cybersecurity grant opportunities expected in Spring 2027. Aligning endpoint management investments with the active hardware modernization program maximizes efficiency and positions the city to meet compliance requirements ahead of audit cycles.
