Fleet Safety Modernization & Countywide Safety Action Plan
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has budget-approved initiatives for a Countywide Safety Action Plan and Ambulance Replacement, yet an operational visibility gap persists across the Sheriff's large fleet. Retained liability exposure and rising vehicle claim costs present ongoing financial and safety risks to the county and the residents it serves.
The opportunity
The ATTAIN grant deadline of August 2026 provides a defined funding window for fleet telematics and transportation technology, aligning directly with the active 2026–27 budget cycle. Acting now leverages approved budget authority, potential cooperative contract vehicles, and grant dollars to reduce liability and improve public safety outcomes.

Public Safety Technology · Endpoint Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified and budget-approved a replacement of Mobile Data Terminals used by public safety personnel, signaling aging endpoint infrastructure that poses operational reliability risks in the field. Outdated MDTs can compromise real-time communication and situational awareness for first responders, directly affecting service delivery and officer safety.
The opportunity
With funding already approved within the active 2026–27 budget cycle, this project is positioned for near-term procurement with reduced fiscal uncertainty. Acting within the current budget window ensures continuity of public safety operations and maximizes the value of committed public funds.
Active Directory Upgrade & Password Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has a budget-approved Active Directory upgrade initiative alongside identified password management compliance gaps. Tennessee cybersecurity guidance explicitly flags the absence of a secure password management plan, creating both a compliance mandate and an operational risk to county systems and data.
The opportunity
The active 2026–27 budget cycle and funded status of the Active Directory initiative provide a ready vehicle to address the password management gap now. Acting within this window reduces compliance exposure and leverages existing appropriations, avoiding a separate procurement cycle.
Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan lacks a documented review cycle, falling short of EMAP's annual review standard, while outdoor warning siren gaps and an unfilled Emergency Management Officer II position compound staffing and preparedness shortfalls. A split platform environment further limits coordinated emergency response capability.
The opportunity
The active FY26–27 budget cycle and identified EMAP compliance gaps create a defined window to address preparedness deficiencies before the next review period. Public safety budget increases and eligibility for state and federal emergency management funding support a cost-effective path to closing these operational and compliance risks.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has made a formal commitment to WCAG 2.0 A/AA accessibility standards, creating a compliance-driven mandate for digital content and document accessibility. Gaps in accessible document delivery risk exclusion of residents with disabilities and potential civil rights exposure.
The opportunity
An existing platform footprint reduces implementation complexity, and the county's active FY26–27 budget cycle presents a timely window to expand compliant capabilities. Addressing this now supports equitable public access, reduces legal risk, and aligns with current spending authority.
Cybersecurity & Identity Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Tennessee cybersecurity guidance identifies the absence of a secure password management plan as a compliance gap, elevating risk across county operations. The active Directory upgrade initiative creates an immediate integration point for closing identity and access management vulnerabilities across infrastructure and policy.
The opportunity
The 2026–27 budget cycle and the county's $5.7M annual IT and software spend signal capacity to act, and the budget-approved Active Directory initiative provides a natural, cost-efficient entry point. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the security posture protecting county staff, systems, and residents.
