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 came from and the charts show how it was distributed. Summerise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevent.

The table illustrates the data on the police budget from where the

money

came , and the two pie charts describe the distribution of the amount of

money

in the two years 2017 and 2018 in an area of Britain.

Overall

, it is obvious that there was generally an upward trend in the factors for table and pie charts. Relating to the table, the highest amount of

money

on the police budget belonged to the National government, 175.5

million

pounds in 2017, which rose to 177.8

million

in 2018. The second important source of

money

was Local Taxes with 91.2 m in 2017. Followed by an increase the figure reached 102.3

million

pounds after one year.

Also

, there were other sources, which made up 38

million

in 2017 and 38.5

million

in 2018 of the total

money

.

Moreover

, the total sources of

money

accounted for 304.7 m, which increased significantly to 318.6

million

pounds in 2018. With a glance at the pie charts,

it is clear that

the majority of the police budget goes to salaries, which was for officers and staff, dropping slightly from 75% in 2017 to 69% in 2018. Meanwhile, the proportion of buildings and transport remained constant at 17% each year.

Furthermore

, an opposite pattern can be seen in the category of technology, its figure rose sharply from 8% in 2017 to 14% in 2018, which was always the lowest rate during the given period.
