BAND 7.5
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.
