On Monday, president Obama will ban the federal provision of some types of military-style equipment to local police departments and could strongly restrict the availability of others.

Administration officials said that President Obama could intensify his push to ease tensions between law enforcement and minority communities in reaction to the crises in Baltimore; Ferguson, Mo.; and other cities.

Obama is going to take this move after a task force he created in January decided that police departments should be barred from using federal funds to acquire items, including tracked armored vehicles, the highest-caliber firearms and ammunition, and camouflage uniforms.

The ban is part of a series of steps made by the president in a move to build trust between law enforcement organizations and the citizens they are charged with protecting.

Obama is looking forward to promote the effort during a visit to Camden, N.J. on Monday. The city is racked by poverty and crime, and has become a national model for better relations between the police and citizens, following the replacement of its beleaguered police force with a county-run system that prioritizes community ties.

It is expected that President Obama will hold up Camden as a counterpoint to places like Ferguson, where the killing of a young black man by a white police officer last summer and the afterward violent protests have exposed long-simmering hostility between law enforcement agencies and minorities in cities across the country.

On Monday, the trip and the action on military-style equipment is going to coincide with the release of a report from a policing task force that Obama has formed late last year in response to the crisis in Ferguson.

Under the 116-page report, law enforcement agencies will be asked to ‘embrace a guardian rather than a warrior mind-set to build trust and legitimacy both within agencies and with the public. The report will also carry dozens of recommendations for agencies throughout the country.
