Digital modernization Mt Horeb PD uses legacy web tech including RequireJS and jQuery alongside AWS, Google Maps, and reCAPTCHA. This signals an opportunity to offer a cost-effective modernization package: upgrade to modern frontend frameworks, unify with cloud-hosted RMS/CMS, and integrate with GIS and public-facing portals, appealing to a small department with limited IT staff.

Security potential With HSTS and reCAPTCHA already in place, there is readiness for enhanced cybersecurity services, CJIS-compliant cloud hosting, vulnerability assessments, and ongoing security monitoring to protect public data and apps, especially given small staff and potential budget constraints.

Citizen engagement Use of AddThis shows some analytics on site sharing; opportunity to deploy streamlined online forms for incident reporting, FOIA requests, and public records, plus dashboards to improve transparency and community trust—offered as affordable, scale-appropriate solutions.

Geospatial expansion Google Maps usage indicates current mapping capabilities; offer GIS-enabled incident mapping, patrol routing, and public dashboards that visualize crime data, with easy integration to existing records systems and dashboards.

Budget-friendly fit Small department with modest revenue makes them ideal for modular, pay-as-you-go security, cloud hosting, and software-as-a-service solutions; emphasize rapid onboarding, vendor support, and grant-ready procurement to win the deal.
