Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps with EOP & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a jurisdiction-specific Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated mass-notification platform, and documented exercises or audits — relying instead on social media for public alerts. NIMS adoption and consistent EOP development represent outstanding compliance mandates that elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Acceptance into the FY2026 COPS Hiring Program signals a receptive funding environment for public safety investment, and Tennessee's Homeland Security Grant Program offers a prospective path for emergency equipment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes critical preparedness gaps and strengthens community-facing emergency response.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department operates an active public-facing website that must meet federal WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA accessibility standards by April 26, 2028. Without a funded remediation plan in place, the risk of legal exposure and service inequity for residents with disabilities grows with each passing fiscal cycle.
The opportunity
The April 2028 federal deadline creates a defined planning window to phase remediation across budget cycles, reducing cost pressure and compliance risk. Initiating now allows alignment with upcoming FY planning and positions the department to deliver equitable digital services to all residents.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The police department currently lacks dash cameras and vehicle telematics, creating unaddressed gaps in fleet oversight and officer safety monitoring. While immediate urgency is low, these gaps represent measurable operational risk to accountability, liability exposure, and public trust.
The opportunity
Acceptance into the FY2026 COPS Hiring Program signals a positive public safety funding environment that may extend to fleet technology initiatives. A greenfield landscape and no competing procurement activity make this an opportune moment to plan ahead of the next budget cycle.
