CJIS Compliance: Server Encryption & Backup Remediation
Cybersecurity & Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The town faces a hard CJIS compliance deadline of April 22, 2026, requiring server encryption and backup remediation with documented consequences for non-compliance. Budget has been approved for server reconfiguration, but the 30-day remediation window leaves no margin for delay in a gap-ridden cybersecurity environment.
The opportunity
The approved budget and active remediation window create immediate procurement readiness, while the September 2026 FY2026-27 budget hearing supports follow-on cybersecurity investments. Acting now avoids non-compliance penalties, protects law enforcement data access, and aligns with the town's newly formed Technology Committee priorities.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and EMS Continuity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town lacks a formalized Emergency Operations Plan and has unresolved EMS service continuity, creating significant operational and compliance risk during emergencies. These foundational preparedness gaps leave residents, first responders, and staff without a coordinated response framework when it matters most.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs explicitly fund emergency management technology and equipment, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. With the FY2026–27 budget hearing approaching in September 2026, now is the critical window to advance this initiative, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community resilience.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town's emergency notification systems are fragmented, undermining coordinated public alerting during incidents and compounding the absence of a formal Emergency Operations Plan. This gap presents a direct operational and public safety risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Homeland security and emergency management grants explicitly cover interoperable communications technology, offering a funded pathway ahead of the FY2026-27 budget cycle. Acting now aligns with the upcoming September 2026 budget hearing and reduces near-term public safety exposure.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town has documented fleet-involved damage and an aging patrol fleet with no telematics or dash camera systems currently in place, creating measurable safety and liability gaps. An active Police Department vehicle replacement program with a dedicated Vehicle Replacement Fund signals readiness to address these risks.
The opportunity
The September 2026 FY2026-27 budget hearing presents a near-term funding window, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Acting now aligns fleet safety investments with active budget cycles and supports officer safety and public accountability outcomes.

IT Modernization · Public Sector Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The town's newly formed Technology Committee signals a formal shift toward structured IT oversight, but key system contracts—including video management and ERP—are approaching renewal within 18 months. Without a consolidated governance framework, the town risks compliance gaps, uncoordinated renewals, and fragmented oversight of a $100K+ annual technology investment.
The opportunity
The September 2026 budget hearing and a general fund surplus create a near-term funding window aligned with FY planning cycles. Acting now enables the town to consolidate oversight, reduce operational risk, and position technology investments for maximum public safety and service delivery impact.
