The given table and pie chart illustrates the sources from which the police department received the finances, which include: the national government, local taxes, and other sources. The second pie chart depicts the funds that were allocated into three different categories, such as salaries (officers and staff), technology, buildings, and transport.
Overall, among the three sources, the national government and local taxes contributed a large portion in providing funds. The local taxes have witnessed a significant increase, while other sources remained almost similar in providing the funds. In the first half, there seems to be a large expenditure on salaries and less on technology, building, and transport. Later, there is nearly double expenditure on technology at the expense of salaries.
The table demonstrates the police budget from three different sources during the period of 2017-2018. There seemed to be 12% surged in funds from local taxes, from around 91.2 million to 102.3 million, followed by national taxes with 2-3% increased. At the same time, the national government remained the largest contributor, providing financial resource with 175.5 million to 177.8 million. In contrast, other sources such as grants remained the same or grew slightly with 0.5% from 38 million to 38.5 million.
The pie chart represents the percentage of the expenditure in three different sectors during 2017 and 2018. It clearly denotes that the majority of the budget is acquired by salaries, roughly 75% in 2017, followed by building and transport with 17%, while technology accounts for a tiny portion with 8%. In contrast, by the next year, the technology had nearly doubled in size, 14% at the expense of salaries, while buildings and transport remained the same.
