The table and charts detailed below give information about the police budget in 2017 and 2018 in on area of Britain. The table illustrates where the money came from and the charts show how it was distributed.

We are given two graphs illustrating the budget assigned to police for the years 2017 and 2018.

While

, the circular graph explains how the funds were distributed, at the same time, the table illustrates where the money came from.

Overall

, we observe that the total funding received in 2017 was approximately £304

million

,

whereas

it was near to £319

million

in 2018. And the majority of money in 2017 and 2018 was spent on salaries.

Firstly

, we discuss the departments from which the funds were received i.e., the national government contributed £175.5

million

in 2017.

However

, the same department allocated slightly more budget to police in 2018 which was £177.8

million

.

Similarly

, the Local Taxes and Other sources (grants) together gave almost £130m in 2017, and nearly £140m in 2018.

Secondly

, we look at the circle graphs. There were three categories to spend on, first one was the salaries (officers & staff),

then

technology, and

lastly

on buildings

along with

transportation. The proportion of money spent on building and transport in 2017 and 2018 remains the same,

that is

17%.

Nevertheless

, in 2017 and 18 it was 75% and 69% were spent on salaries respectively.
