Emergency Communications Consolidation & EOP Clarity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office operates a fragmented mass notification environment across multiple disconnected platforms, compounded by an unclear Emergency Operations Plan and recurring severe weather exposure. These gaps create measurable compliance and operational readiness risk, leaving residents and staff vulnerable during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget decision window is immediate, with dedicated county technology funding already proposed and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline procurement. Consolidating emergency communications and formalizing the EOP now reduces operational risk and positions the agency for alignment with emergency management readiness standards.

Cybersecurity & Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The office operates on severely end-of-life server and database infrastructure, creating significant cybersecurity exposure and operational risk. Active CJIS compliance mandates (v5.9.5, with v6.1 on the horizon) and a non-compliance notice from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards make remediation both urgent and legally consequential.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes $253,080 earmarked for county IT and network security, providing a defined and immediate funding window. A countywide IT modernization initiative is already a stated strategic priority, aligning project execution with budget cycles and reducing procurement friction. Acting within this fiscal window supports CJIS compliance, reduces breach exposure, and strengthens the continuity of public safety operations.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The existing Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System has reached end-of-life, creating critical operational risk for emergency services coordination and incident management. Continued reliance on this infrastructure threatens dispatch reliability, CJIS compliance posture, and the safety of both deputies and the public they serve.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes dedicated Sheriff's Office software funding, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in active use, reducing procurement friction. Acting within the current budget cycle secures continuity of emergency operations and positions the agency to meet evolving CJIS compliance requirements.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A serious fatigue-related crash involving a deputy has exposed critical gaps in fleet safety oversight. Without a telematics solution in place, the office lacks real-time visibility into driver behavior, fatigue indicators, and incident response, elevating liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY2027 budget cycle and existing cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined path to procurement with reduced administrative burden. Acting now directly addresses an active safety incident, reduces liability exposure, and supports deputy and public safety outcomes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The office faces a federal Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1-compliant digital properties by 2028, with identified gaps already creating legal exposure and barriers to public access. An active non-compliance notice from state jail standards signals the organization is under heightened regulatory scrutiny across multiple fronts.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined remediation planning window, and the FY2027 budget cycle—with allocated technology funding—offers a timely pathway to act before costs and legal risk escalate. Addressing compliance now protects public access, reduces liability, and aligns with available funding opportunities.
