Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent police pursuit incident resulting in a multi-vehicle crash has exposed critical gaps in fleet accountability and driver oversight, drawing public scrutiny and driving up auto liability premiums. The current fleet tracking solution is underperforming, and a significant increase in the vehicle replacement fund signals urgent pressure to strengthen fleet operations and oversight.
The opportunity
The newly adopted FY2027 budget includes dedicated funding for police vehicle replacement, and an adjacent federal pedestrian safety grant signals available funding for fleet safety initiatives. Acting within this purchasing window reduces liability exposure, improves public safety outcomes, and aligns with current budget authority.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates without a confirmed Emergency Operations Plan and relies on fragmented, unverified mass notification systems, creating coordination gaps and NIMS compliance risk. A recent leadership transition in emergency management further weakens preparedness posture and continuity of operations.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a dedicated allocation for emergency management and public safety technology, creating an active and time-sensitive purchasing window. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with approved strategic priorities.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas compliance mandates require annual cybersecurity training and credential management, and the department's Microsoft-centric environment presents known password management vulnerabilities. With IT infrastructure modernization already budget-approved, unaddressed credential risks elevate exposure for staff, systems, and public data.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program funds law enforcement IT and cybersecurity initiatives with an October 2026 deadline, creating a near-term funding catalyst. The newly adopted FY2027 Technology Management Fund increase further supports investment, aligning compliance remediation with available budget and grant resources.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's Microsoft-centric environment lacks modern management and monitoring capabilities, creating operational and security gaps. Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and active credential management requirements elevate risk if infrastructure modernization is delayed.
The opportunity
The JAG Program grant deadline of October 2026 creates a near-term funding window for IT and cybersecurity improvements, and the FY2027 budget's increased Technology Management Fund confirms leadership commitment and available resources to act now.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Current website accessibility gaps place the department out of alignment with ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, with a hard compliance deadline of April 26, 2028. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
This initiative is already budget-approved as a strategic priority under the adopted FY2027 plan, establishing a clear funding pathway and purchasing window. Staging remediation now avoids last-minute costs, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents ahead of the 2028 deadline.

Discuss this project →Dispatch Radio Equipment Replacement Before End-of-Support
Public Safety Communications · Capital Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Existing dispatch radio equipment is approaching end-of-support in 2027, creating a firm replacement deadline with direct implications for public safety communications continuity. Failure to act ahead of this milestone exposes the department to operational risk and potential service disruption during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The newly adopted FY2027 Capital Improvement Plan and an increased Technology Management Fund establish a current and viable budget pathway for this procurement. Acting within this fiscal window ensures compliance with the 2027 deadline and protects uninterrupted dispatch operations for residents and first responders.
