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. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and making relevant comparisons.

Firstly

, the table graph above depicted sources about the amount of the

budget

of the

police

in one

area

of Britain during a period of one year (2017 -2018) followed by two pie charts which provided detailed data about the sectors

this

money where spent in the same period. Looking from an

overall

perspective, all the contributions from all sources increased from 2017 to 2018, especially the local taxes

Moreover

, we can observe a significant rise in the

police

budget

in 2018 reaching a total of 318,6 million sterling pounds. An increase of around 14 million sterling pounds from 2017 to 2018

In addition

,

it is clear that

salaries held the

area

in which most money was spent in 2017. A total of 75% or just over two-thirds of the

police

budget

.

On the contrary

, the same

area

presented a slight decrease reaching over two-thirds, a percentage of 69% of the investment from the

police

budget

in 2018. An important jump was held in the

area

of technology. The spending grew from 8% in 2017 to 14% in 2018.

However

, the building sector remained similar during the same year period, with 17% of the contribution from the

police

budget

.

To conclude

, despite the

police

budget

presenting a raise from 2017 to 2018, the investments in the sectors were similar when a comparison is made. The decrease observed in salaries from 2017 to 2018 was equivalent to the increase in technology in 2018, 6%, just under one-third.
