BadgerLayer(262) 220-7884BadgerLayer(262) 220-7884Managed IT and cybersecurity for municipalities, police and fire departments, school districts, libraries, and public works. CJIS-aligned for law enforcement, NIST 800-171 ready where required, and built around the procurement and fiscal-year realities local government actually operates under.
A city hall, a police department, and a school district all need IT, but the rules and rhythms underneath each are completely different. Here's how we think about each.
The daily operations of the municipality — permits, records, utility billing, payroll, meeting minutes. Small staff wearing multiple hats, so IT has to be reliable and out of the way. Public records obligations are the compliance anchor.
Criminal justice data changes everything. CJIS Security Policy applies to anything touching CJI, and non-compliance can cut off access to state and federal systems. Squad laptops, dispatch, evidence management, and records all need proper controls.
Student data privacy, filtering, 1:1 device programs, and E-Rate all converge on the IT team. We support the managed services side so your district tech director can focus on teaching and learning outcomes rather than switch configurations.
Public-facing computing, patron access, limited staff IT expertise, and tight budgets. We handle the network, the patron machines, and the back-office systems with a setup designed for staff-user ratios where IT is everyone's third-priority job.
We respond to formal solicitations, we understand cooperative purchasing, and we provide the paperwork your purchasing office, council, or board needs to approve a contract without a week of back-and-forth emails.
We write clean, scored, responsive proposals with cost, technical approach, references, and compliance attestation.
Eligible under common cooperative contracts where applicable, so you can engage without a full RFP cycle.
Pre-written scope of work templates for common engagements so you can plug them into your approval workflow.
General liability, cyber liability, and E&O COIs available on request for bid packets.
Complete vendor registration packet on day one, including W-9, EIN, ACH or check preferences, and references.
Willing to provide references from existing clients (with their permission) for any formal procurement process.
Municipal budgets don't fit a vendor's quarterly sales goals. We structure engagements so the operational side is predictable, and the capital side is scoped cleanly.
Whether you're on a July-June fiscal year or calendar-year budget, our agreements are structured so your finance director knows what the line items look like before signing.
Government IT vendors get scrutinized publicly — and they should. We run our engagements the way we'd want them run if we sat on the council reviewing the budget.
Transparent line items, clean audit trails, and documentation retention that assumes an open records request will eventually come.
Every invoice shows exactly what service, what quantity, what rate. No "professional services" bucket line items that your clerk can't defend to a council member.
Contracts, change orders, and project records maintained in a format that can be produced for open records requests without scrambling.
Out-of-scope work is quoted and approved before it happens, in writing. No month-end invoice with mystery hours attached.
Domain, credentials, documentation, licenses — all in the entity's name, not ours. If the engagement ends, the transition is scripted and the handoff is complete.
Real questions from clerks, administrators, chiefs, tech directors, and purchasing officers. If yours isn't here, it'll come up on the intro call.
