The table and charts below give information on the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in one area of Britain. The table shows where the money come from and the charts show how it was distributed.
The table reveals the police
budget
from three diverse sources from 2017 to 2018 in one specific region of Britain,
whereas
the pie charts illustrate how the money was spent during the same
period
.
Overall
, there are changes for both sources of the police
budget
and spending money, but significant changes which are the former data being local taxes source, and the latter information being from technology. Local taxes were the highest source of police
budget
from 91.2m in 2017 to 102.3m in 2018. The second place was the national government accounted for in 2017 at 175.5m and in the
last
period
at 177.8m.
This
budget
experienced a slow increase of 3.3m,
while
the other sources
such
as grants showed the same trend but only by 0.5m. Moving to the pie chart, the money was spent mostly on technology which increased slightly from 8% to 14% during that
period
. The opposite trend was indicated by salaries, for officers and staff, from 75% in the first
period
to 69% in 2018, when buildings and transport remained stable.
