The table and the pie charts illustrate the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in a particular British area, showing where the money comes from and its distribution.
Overall, the total police budget underwent a significant increase, and all sources of funding rose by 2018. The proportion allocated to salaries declined, expenditure on technology grew considerably, while spending on buildings and transport remained unchanged.
Starting with funding sources, the contribution from the national government was the highest in both years, providing 175.5 million in 2017 and 177.8 million in 2018. Local taxes experienced considerable growth from 91.2 million to 102.3 million by 2018, whereas other sources, such as grants, rose slightly from 38 million to 38.5 million. As a result, the overall budget increased from 304.7 million in 2017 to 318.6 million in 2018.
Regarding spending, salaries for officers and staff represented the largest share in both years, before declining from 75% in 2017 to 69% in 2018. In contrast, the money allocated to technology rose significantly from 8% to 14% by 2018. However, expenditure on buildings and transport remained stable at 17%.

The table and the two charts illustrate data about the police budget in two years (2017 and 2018) in a particular area of Britain. The table depicts the source of the money.
Overall, it is clearly seen that the majority of the money was spent on salaries, and the minority on technology; meanwhile, the National Government constitutes the biggest source of money.
To begin with, salaries represent the largest segment of money spent, at 75% and 69% in 2017 and 2018, respectively. While buildings and transport remained constant at 17% during the period, technology grew from 8% to 14% in 2018.
In addition, the National Government constitutes the biggest source of money, reaching 177.8m in 2018 from 175.5m in 2017. Furthermore, local taxes increased over time and were an important source. Other sources, like grants, present the least amount, at 38m in 2017 and 38.5m in 2018. In total, the money income increased to 318.6m in 2018.

The table and charts illustrate information on the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in one area of Britain.
The table depicts where the money comes from, whereas the charts illustrate how it was distributed.
The table informs that the main two sources of the police budget are the national government (175.5m in 2017 and 177.8m in 2018) and local taxes (91.2m in 2017 and 102.3m in 2018). The money that came from other sources constitutes 38m in 2017 and 38.5m in 2018. The total police budget in 2018 is 318.6m, which is slightly higher than the budget of 304.7m in 2017.
The charts also show that the money was spent mostly on salaries, which accounted for 75% of the total budget in 2017 and 69% in 2018. Buildings and transport cost 17% in both the years 2017 and 2018. The money spent on technology was 8% in 2017 and 14% in 2018.

The table and charts provide information about the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in one area of Britain. The table illustrates where the money came from and the charts demonstrate how it was distributed.
Overall, it is noticeable that all sources of the police budget increased, and national government accounted for the most significant source. However, spending on salaries for the officers and staff decreased, and spending on technology grew.
Looking at the table, it is evident that all sources increased, national government accounted for 175.5m in 2017 and for 177.8m in 2018. Local taxes accounted for 91.2m in 2017 and for 102.3m in 2018, and other sources, such as grants, accounted for 38m in 2017 and for 38.5m in 2018. Therefore, total amount increased from 304.7m in 2017 to 318.6m year later.
Moving to the pie chart, in 2017 salaries for the staff and officers accounted for the most crucial proportion, with 75%. Buildings and transport accounted for 17%, and technology for 8%. Year later, spending on salaries decreased to 69%, and spending on technology increased to 14%. Although, spending on building and transport stayed the same.

The table below provides us with the data on the annual income of the police and its sources, and the charts compare the percentage distribution of those spendings. The information stands for one region in Britain in two different years. Overall, it is seen that the money which was received by the police has increased in the second year from every source, and a higher percentage of income was spent on technology. In total, the police budget rose from 304.7m in 2017 to 318.6m in 2018. The majority of that increase comes from local taxes, growing by more than 10m in the year 2018. A less notable, but still important, rise in received money is seen from the National Government, which added around 2m in contrast to the previous year. The income from other sources has almost remained the same, growing just by half a million. The charts show that in 2017, three-quarters of the budget went to employees’ salaries. Only 8 percent of income was spent on technology; however, it rose by 6 percent the next year, which meant the officers and other staff were given less priority in 2018. The percentage of spending on building and transport remained completely the same.

The table and pie charts illustrate the proportion of the police budget in terms of where the money came from, and the pie charts show how it was distributed for 2017 and 2018 in one location of Britain. Overall, it is clear that the largest share is taken by salaries, while spending on technology accounts for the smallest proportion.
To begin with, salaries represent the largest proportion, at 75% in 2017 and 69% in 2018. This is followed by buildings and transport, which remain stable at 17% over the year.
By contrast, technology and other sources contribute comparatively small shares. Spending on technology constitutes only 14% and 8%, while other sources stand at a budget of 38m in 2017 and 38.5m in 2018. Nevertheless, the police budget in 2017 was quite smaller compared to 2018. Local taxes took the place of police salary at 91.2m, and increased to 102.3m by 2018. The national government did not change much over the year. However, there is an increase of the total police budget by 2018 of just 14m.
The graphs illustrate data about the financial sources of the police in 2017 and 2018. The first graph depicts how the police collected financial sources. The other graph represents how money was invested.
Overall, it is noticeable that all the sources underwent an increase from 2017 to 2018. In both years observed, the largest proportion of money depended on National Government. By comparison, the dominant percentage in which financial sources were distribuited was salaries.
In detail, money supplyed by Government underwent an increase of £2.3 million. The same pattern is observed for money provided by Taxes which climbed by £11 million approximately. Monetary sources by grants and others grew by £0.5 million.
In terms of money distribution, the second graph show that between 2017 and 2018 the proportion of salaries decreased by 6%. Conversely, the percentage of technology depicted a climb by 6%. The segment of building and transport ramained unchanged. 7 BAND BY ENGOVATE
The table and two pie charts illustrates the sources and expenditures of the Police Budget during 2017 and 2018 in a particular area of Britain.
Overall, the major portion of money came from the national government wheras, least from other sources in both years. In distribution, the officers and staff salaries took the largest proportion in comparative years.
The national government became the biggest source of police budget with 175.5 million pounds and 177.8 million pounds respectively in 2017 and 2018. In addition, other sources like grants with 38m pounds in the first year and slightly above in the second year which is 38.5m pounds and their total in 2017 was 304.7m pounds and 318.6m pounds in 2018.
In contrast, the pie charts shows that the expenditure mostly used on the salaries of officers and staff were 75% in the previous year and 69% in the following year however, buildings and transport with the same proportion were 17% in both years. The smallest allocation of funds went to technology, 8% in 2017 and 14% in 2018.
The given table and charts represent figures on the police budget from 2017 to 2018 in a certain borough of Britain. The table details the source of funding, and the charts demonstrate its distribution.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is clearly seen that the budget sources slightly increased in twelve months; in particular, local taxes showed the highest growth in comparison with the other two sections. In terms of budget distribution, technology required significantly higher funding, meanwhile building and transport remained unchanged.
In 2017, the national government contributed 175.5 million pounds, while local taxes and other sources provided less, at 91.2m and 38m respectively. In 2018, these sections rose insignificantly, including the highest increase of local taxes up to 102.3m pounds.
In terms of budget allocation, within the given period, the sector of buildings and transport kept the same share of the budget at 17%. Meanwhile, technology demanded a considerably higher amount of funds, from 8% in 2017 to 14% in 2018. Salary is the only section whose proportion in the budget declined, from 75% in 2017 to 69% in 2018.
