French President Emmanuel Macron has said there is an "urgent need" to reform the security forces, following weeks of protests over police violence.
He will hold a summit next month to review community relations and the working conditions of the police.
"I want to move quickly and concretely," Mr Macron said in a letter to a leading police union on Monday.
It follows weeks of nationwide demonstrations over a controversial draft security law.
The bill would outlaw taking photos of police, for use "with malevolent intent", but opponents say it would undermine press freedom to document police brutality.
Demonstrations over the draft law intensified after footage emerged of three white policemen beating a black music producer last month. (BBC)
