Patrol Fleet Safety & Telematics Expansion
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has experienced multiple fatal and serious fleet-involved accidents, including trooper fatalities, within the past year. An existing telematics program is active, but recent incident severity signals critical gaps in driver monitoring and real-time incident prevention across the patrol fleet.
The opportunity
Patrol fleet modernization is an active strategic priority, and substantial annual technology budget capacity supports near-term investment. Cooperative contract vehicles are available to streamline procurement, enabling faster deployment of expanded fleet safety capabilities during the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · IT Service Management
High Priority
About this project
The incumbent ITSM platform reaches end-of-life on 12/31/2026, creating a hard, non-discretionary migration deadline. A prior endpoint management solicitation resulted in no award, leaving a compounding gap in IT service and endpoint operations that elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The 12/31/2026 deadline makes inaction a liability, not an option. New IT and Infrastructure Operations leadership creates openness to modernization, and cooperative contract vehicles are available to accelerate procurement and align with current fiscal planning cycles.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DPS operates under active CJIS compliance mandates and incident reporting obligations, while a failed endpoint management solicitation has left critical gaps in credential and identity security. Existing tools form a mature but fragmented environment, and ongoing initiatives—including a mainframe exit and disaster recovery improvements—elevate operational risk if endpoint gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
A $3.2M FEMA grant provides documented funding context for security-aligned solutions, and recent IT leadership transitions create a favorable window for consolidation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the agency's security posture ahead of mandated reporting requirements.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DPS has documented WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gaps across public-facing web properties, with a mandated remediation deadline of 2027. Unresolved gaps risk excluding residents from critical public safety services and expose the agency to regulatory liability.
The opportunity
The 2027 WCAG 2.1 AA deadline creates a firm, regulatory-driven timeline that rewards early action with lower remediation costs and reduced legal exposure. DIR cooperative contracts support streamlined procurement, and the agency's substantial IT budget confirms a viable funding path within current planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DPS has documented communication interoperability failures during recent flood responses, with EOP and COOP review status unresolved. Active initiatives including a Homeland Security Plan update and NG911 implementation underscore the urgency of closing preparedness and coordination gaps that directly affect public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
A secured $3.2M FEMA grant provides a near-term funding vehicle aligned with emergency management modernization priorities. Leadership reorganization and active NG911 planning create strategic momentum to address interoperability gaps and strengthen statewide emergency response before the next disaster cycle.

Homeland Security · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
DPS has identified emerging aerial threat vectors as an active operational risk and responded with an emergency procurement and dedicated federal grant funding. The Homeland Security reorganization underway elevates the urgency of deploying capable, integrated counter-drone capabilities to protect public safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
A $3.2M FEMA grant is already secured and designated for counter-drone technology, providing a confirmed, near-term funding path with minimal procurement friction. Acting within the current initiative window aligns with leadership priorities and ensures operational readiness against a rapidly evolving aerial threat landscape.
