In a statement, Joe Biden's campaign drew a line between Biden’s position and calls to “defund the police”

That is conspicuously true of the putative 2020 presidential nominee of the party, Joe Biden.
“As his criminal justice proposal made clear months ago, Vice President Biden does not believe that police should be defunded,” Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement. “He hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change, and is driven to ensure that justice is done and that we put a stop to this terrible pain.”“Biden supports the urgent need for reform … so that officers can focus on the job of policing,” Bates said.
[T]he program has never been funded to fulfill the original vision for community policing. Biden will reinvigorate the COPS program with a $300 million investment. As a condition of the grant, hiring of police officers must mirror the racial diversity of the community they serve. Additionally, as president, Biden will establish a panel to scrutinize what equipment is used by law enforcement in our communities.
