Emergency Preparedness & Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including no documented EOP review date, limited after-action reporting, and unclear mass notification coverage. Compliance with NIMS requirements and the Michigan Emergency Management Act is necessary for grant eligibility, and the 2025 Wayne County Hazard Mitigation Plan update further elevates urgency.
The opportunity
The FY26–27 budget reflects a county-wide public safety priority, and aligned federal grant programs require an approved EOP to qualify — creating a near-term action window. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, reduces compliance risk, and positions the agency to access available state and federal preparedness funding.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification platform lacks contract transparency and may not fully meet emergency communication requirements for staff and residents. Gaps in EOP documentation and after-action reporting compound compliance risk under NIMS requirements and Michigan Emergency Management Act mandates.
The opportunity
Homeland Security and emergency preparedness grant windows, including HSGP and BRIC-aligned funding, support near-term investment with cooperative purchasing vehicles already in place. Acting within the current FY26–27 budget cycle strengthens grant eligibility, closes compliance gaps, and ensures reliable public alerting before the next emergency event.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent incident involving a sheriff's fleet vehicle and a 7% rise in insurance premiums underscore urgent gaps in situational awareness and driver safety oversight. An identified $1.9M budget allocation for fleet vehicles creates a defined window to address telematics adoption and reduce operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant explicitly supports law enforcement vehicle telematics, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now aligns with budget timing, reduces insurance exposure, and strengthens deputy safety and fleet accountability.

Cybersecurity & IT Compliance · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
An October 2025 performance audit identified control deficiencies within county sheriff operations, and a post-cyberattack IT hardening effort is actively underway. Upcoming managed security contract renewals and ongoing grant compliance requirements are compounding operational and financial risk across a significant IT investment portfolio.
The opportunity
Audit findings and near-term contract renewal timelines create immediate procurement urgency, while the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant explicitly supports eligible information systems and cybersecurity investments. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the county to close compliance gaps, reduce exposure, and align spending with available public safety funding.

Discuss this project →IT Modernization & Credential Access Management Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Access Control
High Priority
About this project
An October 2025 performance audit cited deficiencies in access controls, and a prior cyberattack has accelerated the need to modernize identity and credential management systems. Ongoing grant compliance requirements and upcoming cybersecurity contract renewals compound operational and financial risk if gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Audit remediation timelines and near-term contract renewals create a defined window to act within the current fiscal cycle. JAG funding eligibility for information systems broadens available budget pathways, and aligning modernization efforts now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens long-term operational resilience.
