Fifty-three at-risk teens and youth were taken shopping for the annual shop with a cop event at Target in Hilo over the weekend.
On Dec. 7, Hawai‘i County Police officers accompanied keiki and youth from the Ka‘ū District. With $100, they shopped for gifts for about 45 minutes and wrapped them at the store.
“This special event brings much needed holiday joy to at-risk teens and young children during the holidays, while fostering positive relationships between the youth and the officers,” officials stated in a press release.
