The provided table and pie charts illustrate the British police budget in 2017 and 2018. The table demonstrates the sources of income of the police capital and the pie charts depicts its distribution.
Overall, despite the fact that the National Government contributed the police budget the most and the contribution of other sources such as grants was the smallest, the total revenue of a police budget rose inconsiderably over the 1 year period. Moreover, while the percentage of money allocated on salaries decreased, more money was spent on technologies. In contrast, building and transport did not face any changes and remained stable.
As it is evident from the diagrams, the National Government invested 175.5 m in the budget of the British police in 2017, the fundings grew slightly by 2.3 m making up 177.8 m. Likewise, the amount of investment from Local Taxes raised from 91.2 m in the first year to 102.3 m in the final year. Following that, there was an insignificant growth in the amount of money donated for the police fund from other sources. The figure was 38 m in 2017 and accounted for 38.5 m 1 year later.
With regards to the ways the police budget of Britain is distributed, exactly three quarters of the whole budget was spent on salaries in 2017, whereas in the next this figure declined moderately and comprised 69%. Although the government allocated a mere 8 percent of the budget on the technologies in the beginning of the period, the proportion of the expenses on this category witnessed just less than a twofold increase and reached 14%. Otherwise, British authorities spent the same amount of money on the the sector of building and transport – 17%, in both 2017 and 2018.
