THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Claims reports show purchases from Computer Doctors LLC for a Watchguard firewall charged to both Administration and Police in July 2026. This indicates Valley Falls recently acquired new firewall hardware or services. While the core security purchase is decided, IT vendors can use this as intelligence that the city is modernizing its network security and may still need configuration, monitoring, training, or integration with other systems.
Firewall costs are split between general administration and police, suggesting shared or multi-site deployment.
