Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency's 250-vehicle fleet faces critical safety and liability exposure following a fatal officer-involved shooting, a serious patrol car crash, and an active federal wrongful-death lawsuit. The 2025 Strategic Impact Report identifies pursuit policy revision and onboard vehicle tracking as priority initiatives requiring objective, policy-enforcing data.
The opportunity
A $326K grant awarded to the Sheriff's Office Road Patrol and capital approvals for vehicles signal near-term budget availability aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Addressing fleet telematics now reduces litigation risk, strengthens policy accountability, and positions the agency to leverage cooperative purchasing and justice-focused grant funding.
Emergency Management Compliance and Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces preparedness gaps including no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, possible missed EMPG funding, and unverified performance of the current mass notification system. NIMS compliance is a mandated condition for accessing preparedness funds, and its current status remains unconfirmed, elevating both regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
A potential 911 surcharge measure and identified annual emergency management and public safety tech spend of $553,000 signal dedicated funding capacity. NIMS compliance mandates create near-term regulatory urgency, and alignment with preparedness grant programs offers a pathway to close critical gaps while strengthening community resilience.
CAD & 911 Dispatch Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Washtenaw County's Emergency Communications Strategic Planning initiative has identified county-wide CAD modernization and Metro Dispatch infrastructure refresh as distinct, high-priority technology upgrades. Aging dispatch systems create operational risk across all jurisdictions served, with cross-departmental coordination and service continuity directly at stake.
The opportunity
A potential 911 surcharge revenue mechanism has been publicly tied to funding Next Generation 911 and Metro Dispatch modernization, creating a defined and time-sensitive funding pathway. Acting within the current budget planning cycle positions the county to align capital investment with available revenue and advance compliance with evolving NG911 standards.
Web Accessibility Compliance for Public Digital Portals
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency has an active commitment to WCAG 2.1 A/AA web accessibility standards, with identified gaps in public-facing digital portals that create legal exposure and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Unresolved accessibility gaps carry growing litigation and audit risk, and remediation aligns with the current compliance obligation and upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Addressing this now improves public service equity and positions the agency to meet its stated digital accessibility mandate.
Strengthen IT Security and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Existing credential and endpoint management tools have been flagged as aging displacement candidates, creating latent risk within the agency's IT ecosystem. While baseline password security is in place, gaps in endpoint visibility and access control can expose public safety operations to evolving cyber threats.
The opportunity
Federal justice assistance funding explicitly supports law enforcement IT and cybersecurity initiatives, offering a viable pathway to modernize endpoint and credential management with limited local budget impact. Aligning this project with the current grant cycle and cooperative procurement options can accelerate timelines and reduce procurement complexity.
