The provided table and pie charts show information about the police budget for two consecutive years, 2017 and 2018, in one area in Britain. Meanwhile, the table illustrates the sources of the money and how it is distributed across the two charts.

The table witnessed a high increase overall in Total value by 14 million pounds in 2018.
