President Barack Obama has called for police to uphold stricter regulations in dealing with the public as tensions continue to rise around the Ferguson shooting of black teenager Michael Brown, according to Reuters.

Obama wants to see more police wearing cameras to help build trust between the public and police by recording events like the shooting death of Brown, Reuters reported. Obama did say he is not trying pull back any federal programs.

After the Brown shooting, Obama ordered a review of federal programs that fund military gear for local police due to police having access to full body armor and armored trucks, BBC News reported.

Obama's staff is drafting an executive order that will require federal agencies that run the programs to work with law enforcement and civil rights and civil liberties organizations to recommend changes within four months.

Obama is meeting with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders, law enforcement officials and others to go over the findings and his new proposal which will involve a $263 million spending package, according to Reuters.

"The president and his administration are very focused on the underlying issues that have been uncovered in a pretty raw way in Ferguson," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement, Reuters reported.

According to a report, about 460,000 pieces of controlled property are in the hands of local police, including 92,442 small arms, 44,275 night vision devices, 5,235 Humvees, 617 mine-resistant vehicles and 616 aircraft, USA Today reported.

Obama's proposal will spread over a three-year period and will expand training for law enforcement and add more resources for police department reform, according to NPR.org.

The package includes $75 million for to help pay for 50,000 of the small, lapel-mounted cameras to record police on the job, with state and local governments paying half the cost, according to BBC News.
