Modernize Mass Notification & Emergency Alert Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A publicly acknowledged resident notification failure during a July 2026 water-main incident exposed a critical gap in the department's public alerting capability. The ongoing transition to centralized county 911 dispatch heightens the need to unify emergency communications under a single, reliable platform aligned with NIMS mandates.
The opportunity
The 911 dispatch consolidation creates a near-term strategic window to modernize and unify alert systems before operational complexity increases. Tennessee-administered FEMA preparedness grants offer a potential funding pathway, and acting within the current planning cycle reduces public safety risk and supports long-term compliance.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Westmoreland PD is transitioning to centralized county 911 dispatch, requiring coordinated integration of communications technology across agencies. A recent resident notification failure during a water-main incident and NIMS compliance mandates underscore the urgency of unified, reliable emergency communications.
The opportunity
The dispatch transition creates a defined window to align communications infrastructure before operational gaps widen. Addressing this now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens public notification reliability, and positions the department for Tennessee-administered FEMA preparedness funding in an upcoming grant cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a federally mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA ADA Title II deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible websites and digital documents. Failure to comply creates legal liability and restricts equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The defined 2028 deadline creates a clear planning horizon, making now the right time to assess gaps and initiate procurement within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Early action reduces remediation costs, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the department ahead of enforcement risk.
Fire Fleet Visibility & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks documented dash cameras, telematics, and fleet performance metrics, creating a visibility gap and exposure to undefended liability claims. A concurrent fire fleet modernization initiative presents a natural entry point to address these gaps before they become operational or financial risks.
The opportunity
Active investment in fire fleet capital equipment creates a timely window to layer in telematics and camera infrastructure within the same budget cycle. Formalizing fleet visibility now supports claims defense, driver accountability, and long-term stewardship of public safety assets — with procurement structured to meet local bidding thresholds.
