Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Access Control
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates annual cybersecurity training and password security compliance by August 31, 2026, and no confirmed password management solution is currently deployed. An internal audit finding of unauthorized ALPR use has intensified pressure for stronger access controls, data governance, and monitoring across public safety systems.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and an active federal grant window (BJA JAG, deadline October 9, 2026, up to $4.9M) create immediate, concurrent funding and regulatory urgency. The FY2027 adopted budget dedicates $63.7 million to public safety with documented cybersecurity line items, and cooperative purchasing agreements are available to accelerate procurement.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Aging mobile-data laptops and radios across police and fire departments signal broader endpoint visibility gaps, compounded by an internal audit finding of unauthorized device access. A citywide IT modernization initiative spanning network infrastructure, GIS, and cybersecurity underscores the urgency of centralized device oversight and control.
The opportunity
The FY2026 laptop and radio replacement program is funded and active, creating an immediate entry point for endpoint management improvements. JAG grant eligibility and cooperative purchasing programs reduce procurement friction, while the FY2027 public safety budget expansion supports sustained investment aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 creates legal and public access risk across city web properties. Existing CMS and document workflow infrastructure have identified accessibility gaps that must be resolved to ensure equitable digital service delivery for all residents.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget includes dedicated line items for website redesign and upgrade, reducing funding risk and aligning this effort with active fiscal planning. Cooperative purchasing programs are available to streamline procurement, and acting within the current project window ensures compliance is met before the April 2027 deadline.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol vehicle collision and the confirmed exclusion of police fleet vehicles from the citywide telematics deployment reveal a critical safety and accountability gap in law enforcement operations. With the Director of Fleet Services position vacant, strategic oversight of police fleet safety monitoring remains unaddressed and at operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 public safety budget allocation and an active federal justice assistance grant window provide near-term funding pathways to close this gap. Cooperative purchasing agreements simplify procurement, enabling the city to act quickly and strengthen officer safety and fleet accountability before the fiscal year deadline.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Update & TDEM Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Temple's Emergency Operations Plan has an unknown version and last review date, creating compliance risk and potential loss of grant eligibility. A May 2026 severe weather event exposed operational continuity failures that exceeded local response capacity, confirming a real-world preparedness gap ahead of the TDEM-mandated November 2027 update deadline.
The opportunity
The TDEM November 2027 deadline and the city's FY2027 public safety budget expansion create a defined window to act. JAG grant funding offers an eligible, near-term funding path to close preparedness gaps and protect both community safety and continued grant eligibility.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Integration & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city is transitioning its mass notification platform by September 2026, creating a public-facing consistency risk and gaps in EOC and dispatch integration. A recent severe weather event exposed operational continuity limitations, and TDEM emergency management plan updates carry a compliance deadline of November 2027.
The opportunity
The September 2026 go-live establishes a firm integration window aligned with the FY2027 budget cycle and substantial public safety funding. Acting now ensures continuity of resident alerting, reduces compliance exposure, and positions the city to leverage cooperative purchasing programs for streamlined procurement.
