US Police Reform: Trump Signs Executive Order on 'Best Practice'
His order offers federal grants to improve police practices, including creating a database to trace abuses by officers.
The order comes amid anger over the killing of African Americans by police officers.
Several US cities have proposed more radical reforms.
Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, Mr Trump began by saying he had met a number of African American families who had lost loved ones, including the relatives of Antwon Rose, Botham Jean and Ahmaud Arbery - the black jogger killed in Georgia earlier this year.
"We have to find common ground," Mr Trump said. "But I strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defund, dismantle and dissolve our police departments."
He added that "without police, there's chaos".
"Americans believe we must support the brave men and women in blue who police our streets and keep us safe," Mr Trump said.
"Americans also believe we must improve accountability, increase transparency and invest more resources in police training, recruiting and community engagement."
