Stephanie Huddleston, the idea first emerged in November with Officer Rolando Jaime, who works in the Problem Oriented Policing (P.O.P.) program, which was created to enhance the image of the Department through community outreach. With Autism Awareness Day having taken place on April 2, they decided it was the right month to hold the event. From there, they received signs, banners, fliers, time and funds from Sensory Rock.
