Cybersecurity Training & Password Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
An October 2025 audit found 44% of employees—including Sheriff's Office staff—out of compliance with cybersecurity training requirements, with a hard deadline of August 31, 2026. A recent IT leadership transition and a gap in training oversight have elevated operational and security risk across the organization.
The opportunity
The August 31, 2026 compliance deadline and an active federal grant window (closing October 9, 2026) that explicitly funds cybersecurity tools create a narrow, time-sensitive action window. A 5.1% proposed IT budget increase and the current FY2027 planning cycle support immediate investment with available funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT infrastructure modernization and Sheriff's Office call recording and archival system are both budget-approved for FY2026, reflecting active investment in operational continuity. A recent IT leadership transition and a 2025 cybersecurity audit revealing significant training deficiencies underscore the urgency of strengthening endpoint oversight and system management.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget approval and a 5.1% IT budget increase create an immediate procurement window for infrastructure and endpoint initiatives. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program, with an October 2026 deadline, offers grant-eligible funding for information systems and law-enforcement technology, reducing local cost burden while advancing compliance and operational resilience.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's Sheriff's Office website is mid-redesign while facing a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate due April 2027. Non-compliance exposes the county to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to critical law enforcement information and services.
The opportunity
The active redesign and FY2027 budget process create an immediate window to embed accessibility requirements before development is finalized. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, reducing procurement lead time and supporting cost-effective, compliant delivery ahead of the mandate.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates fragmented emergency notification platforms with an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, creating moderate-to-high preparedness risk. A recent high-consequence flood has elevated leadership urgency to address warning system gaps and consolidate disparate messaging tools into a unified, reliable system.
The opportunity
A grant-funded countywide outdoor warning siren deployment is already identified as a top county strategic priority, creating a near-term implementation window. Consolidating notification platforms now aligns with active FY planning, partially offsets EM budget constraints, and directly strengthens community resilience and public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Tracking Modernization & Incumbent Displacement
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a funded fleet tracking environment covering approximately 45–46 devices under an existing incumbent solution, with a recently increased Fleet Maintenance budget confirming active investment in this category. No significant safety incidents or liability drivers are present, but the funded status creates a natural evaluation window for modernization.
The opportunity
With fleet tracking already budget-approved and cooperative purchasing agreements in place, the county can competitively evaluate alternatives with minimal procurement friction during the current fiscal cycle. Transitioning to a more capable solution can improve operational visibility and stewardship of public fleet assets.
