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.
