Fleet Telematics & Dash-Cam Safety Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent civilian fatality involving a police cruiser, combined with the absence of documented dash-cam and telematics systems, has created critical safety, accountability, and liability gaps. Active fleet procurement and ongoing motor pool obligations signal that purchasing decisions are already underway without these safeguards in place.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs explicitly support fleet telematics and public safety technology investments, providing clear funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current procurement cycle allows new department leadership to address compliance gaps, reduce liability exposure, and strengthen officer and community safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's EOP exists only in draft form, embedded within a broader Master Plan, and lacks a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator to drive compliance. Michigan's EOP review cycle and NIMS mandates require a formalized, standalone document, creating near-term compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
Michigan's EOP review cycle and NIMS obligations create an immediate compliance deadline, while identified grant funding paths—including emergency management-eligible programs—support this work with limited local match. Acting now consolidates preparedness infrastructure, reduces audit exposure, and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that can accelerate delivery within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence carries unresolved ADA and WCAG compliance obligations, exposing the entity to legal and reputational risk. Existing digital tools and content management infrastructure are in place but have not fully closed the accessibility gap for residents.
The opportunity
ADA and WCAG mandates create ongoing legal exposure that aligns with current compliance planning cycles, making this an actionable priority within the upcoming fiscal period. Addressing accessibility now improves equitable public access to services and reduces the risk of complaints, audits, or litigation.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Access Controls
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks documented enterprise endpoint management and password management controls, creating exposure to insider threats and unauthorized access. An active investigation into misuse of funds heightens the urgency for stronger accountability and access governance across systems.
The opportunity
Organizational pressure from the ongoing investigation makes this an immediate priority, and cybersecurity initiatives of this type may be eligible for available grant funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the department to close critical access control gaps and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.
