Spurred by the Ferguson, Missouri shooting, President Barack Obama is calling for $75 million in federal spending to get 50,000 more police to wear body cameras that record their interactions with civilians.

However, Obama is not seeking to pull back federal programs that provide military-style equipment to local law enforcement.

The White House announced the conclusions of a three-month review Monday as the president was holding a series of meetings with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders, law enforcement officials, and others to go over the findings.

At least for now, Obama is staying away from Ferguson in the wake of a racially charged uproar over a grand jury?s decision last week not to charge the police officer who fatally shot unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.

Obama is proposing a three-year, $263 million spending package to increase use of body-worn cameras, expand training for law enforcement, and add more resources for police department reform.

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

The White House has said the cameras could help bridge deep mistrust between law enforcement and the public.

It also potentially could help resolve the type of disputes between police and witnesses that arose in the Ferguson shooting.

Demands for police to wear the cameras have increased across the country since Brown?s death. Some officers in the St. Louis suburb have since started wearing the cameras.

And recently, the New York Police department became the largest department in the U.S. to adopt the technology when it launched a pilot program in early September, after a court-order requiring the pilot program.

A report from the Justice Department, which had been in the works before the Ferguson shooting, said there?s evidence both police and civilians behave better when they know there are cameras around. The report also cites how footage from the cameras can be used to train officers.
