Emergency Operations Plan Lifecycle Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available EOP, has no documented exercise history, and faces active NIMS compliance requirements with explicit consequences for non-compliance. A recent EF-2 tornado has exposed these gaps in real time, elevating risk to residents, staff, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
A new Disaster & Emergency Contingency Fund deposit, strong public safety budget allocations, and an incoming Chief of Police create a near-term window for EOP adoption. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, reduces audit exposure, and positions the department for state and federal preparedness funding eligibility.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented mass notification environment split across county and regional platforms, creating integration gaps and unclear system ownership during incidents. With documented emergency preparedness deficiencies, NIMS compliance requirements, and a recent EF-2 tornado underscoring real-world risk, the absence of a unified, interoperable notification system poses direct operational and public safety consequences.
The opportunity
A newly established Disaster and Emergency Contingency Fund, strong public safety budget allocations, and cooperative purchasing availability create a timely, low-friction path to consolidation. Addressing system fragmentation now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens incident response, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Identified WCAG and ADA compliance gaps in public-facing digital services create legal exposure and restrict equitable access for residents. Active digital transparency initiatives and public ADA notices signal that these gaps are already visible, elevating reputational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Proactive remediation ahead of formal enforcement aligns with ongoing digital service initiatives and the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal liability, broadens equitable service delivery, and positions the entity for compliance with federal accessibility mandates.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively procuring new squad cars without an identified telematics solution or documented fleet incident tracking in place. This gap creates measurable operational and liability exposure, leaving the agency without data needed to manage risk, ensure officer safety, and defend against claims.
The opportunity
Active fleet procurement creates a natural, low-friction window to integrate telematics before vehicles are deployed. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may simplify acquisition, and strong public safety budget allocations support funding this initiative within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and IT Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in credential management and remote endpoint oversight, leaving public safety systems and sensitive data exposed to unauthorized access and operational disruption. Without structured controls, these vulnerabilities create measurable compliance and continuity risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The city's adopted budget includes a strong public safety allocation, and the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG explicitly covers information systems and cybercrime support, providing a direct funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to close security gaps, reduce audit exposure, and strengthen IT resilience.
