The given table details three sources of budget for the police sector, namely national government, local taxes, and other sources, for a particular region in the UK in 2017 and 2018. On the other hand, the pie charts demonstrate the breakdown of expenses under three distinct heads: Salaries, technology, and infrastructure and transportation.
Overall, it is clearly evident that the major source of revenue comes from the national government, followed by local taxes and other sources, for both years. In terms of expenditure, the significant portion was devoted to salaries of officials and staff, and then to technology, infrastructure, and transportation. It is pertinent to note that the similar trend has been followed through the given period, yet with a marginal difference in proportion and figures.
In 2017, funds from the national government stood at 175.5 million euros, which increased to 177.8 million euros in 2018, making it the highest source of revenue in both years. The next source of revenue, local taxes, with 91.2 million euros in 2017 and 102.3 million euros in 2018, has also occupied a considerable share. Lastly, the funds from other sources, such as grants, have contributed 38 million euros and 38.5 million euros, respectively, in 2017 and 2018. The three sources of revenue have seen a marginal rise from 2017 to 2018, which consequently led to an increase in the total credit sources from 304.7 million euros in 2017 to 318.6 million euros in 2018.
In respect of expenditure, the amount spent on salaries for police personnel has been predominant in 2017 as well as 2018, with 75% and 69% respectively, while it has merely seen a reduction of 6% in 2018. Conversely, the money spent on technology, being the lowest, has seen an increase from 8% in 2017 to 14% in 2018. Moreover, the amount spent on infrastructure and transportation has remained constant at 17% in both years.
