Harriman City Council has taken significant steps to support the autism community and enhance public safety during their recent meeting on March 18, 2025. Council members expressed their commitment to raising awareness about autism, particularly as April is recognized as Autism Month. They plan to utilize social media to educate the public on autism, its effects, and the support available within the community. This initiative aims to foster understanding and provide resources for families affected by autism.

In addition to the autism awareness efforts, the council discussed a mutual aid agreement involving the Harriman Police Department and neighboring towns, Alamo Springs and Alber Springs. This agreement is designed to enhance cooperation and resource sharing among the police departments, ultimately improving public safety and response capabilities in the region.

These initiatives reflect the council's dedication to both community support and safety, highlighting their proactive approach to addressing local needs. As the city moves forward, residents can expect increased awareness and collaboration that will benefit both individuals with autism and the broader community.
