WASHINGTON — President Trump wants military weapons and armored vehicles to start rolling back to local police departments, according to a new report.

The Trump administration is prepared to lift an Obama-era ban on repurposing military equipment from the battlefield for community policing, according to USA Today.

President Barack Obama’s executive order in 2015 blocked the transfer of Defense Department armored vehicles, large-caliber weapons and ammunition to local police officers. The program was popular with local police departments but was blamed, in part, for creating an adversarial relationship between the police and the community after the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.

A New York Post review of the federal program in December 2014 found that New York state greatly benefited from the supplies. Law enforcement agencies throughout the state hauled in nearly 4,000 pieces of surplus military equipment valued at more than $26 million.

Equipment gifts included about 300 M-16 and M-14 military rifles, mine-resistant vehicles and Humvees.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions could make the formal announcement to restore the program Monday when he addresses the National Fraternal Order of Police’s 2017 Biennial National Conference in Nashville.
