Detective Kika Navarro of San Diego's Central Division helps a child choose clothing during the Shop-With-a-Cop event at the Sports Arena Target store in San Diego on December 1, 2007.

Each child had a $100 gift card to spend and many of them resisted the temptation to buy toys and choose instead to get clothes for themselves, their siblings or parents.
