Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan and sustained significant flood exposure from Hurricane Helene, leaving critical preparedness gaps unaddressed. NIMS compliance is required for federal grant eligibility, adding a regulatory driver that elevates both operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
NIMS adoption directly unlocks federal funding eligibility, making near-term action both a compliance and fiscal priority as the FY2026–27 budget cycle takes shape. Formalizing an EOP now reduces community risk, strengthens disaster response readiness, and positions the department to compete for available preparedness grants.
Unified Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The current public safety alerting environment relies on fragmented tools — including web-based forms — creating gaps in unified notification and workflow integration. This split ecosystem elevates operational risk, particularly given documented flood exposure and the absence of a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan.
The opportunity
An incoming leadership transition in mid-2026 creates a timely opening to advance communications modernization with fresh organizational momentum. Emergency preparedness initiatives of this nature are broadly eligible for federal and state funding, and aligning action with the current fiscal cycle supports both compliance and community resilience outcomes.
Modernize Fleet Safety & Public Safety Vehicle Technology
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented police cruiser ramming incident has exposed persistent fleet safety gaps, including the absence of dash cameras and telematics needed for incident reconstruction and evidence collection. With FY2027 road projects approved and a potential EV infrastructure program underway, the need for an integrated fleet technology strategy is growing.
The opportunity
The ATTAIN grant deadline in August 2026 offers a time-sensitive, aligned funding path for fleet safety and connected vehicle technology with minimal local match burden. Incoming police department leadership creates a strategic window to advance this initiative and reduce operational and public safety risk before the fiscal year closes.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified a clear gap in password security and access control for police and municipal users, representing meaningful cybersecurity exposure without a formal mandate in place. Budget visibility for IT and software is limited, making proactive planning essential to avoid reactive, costlier remediation.
The opportunity
An incoming Police Chief in June 2026 creates a natural change-management window to advance cybersecurity modernization with leadership support. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the department to align new practices before access risks compound and while FY planning remains open.
