The table and charts provide information on the police budget in 2017 and 2018 in a particular area of Britain. The table illustrates the sources of revenue, represented in millions of pounds, and the charts show their distribution.
The police budget of Britain has received funding from three main sources, including the national government, local taxes, and other sources. The national government provides the most, with £175.5 million in 2017 and £77.8 million in the following year, followed by local taxes, with £91.2 million provided in 2017 and £102.3 million given in 2018. The least income comes from other sources, such as grants, providing £38.5 million in 2018, increasing from £38 million in the year before. All three sources showed an increase, making the total money an upward trend, going up from £304.7 million in 2017 to £318.6 million in 2018.
The expenditure was spent the most on salaries of officers and staff in both years, with 75% in 2017 and a small drop to 69% in 2018, while the lowest spending was used for technology, at 8% of the total income, and increased to 14% in 2018. Furthermore, the expenses for buildings and transport remained stable over the period, at 17%.
In conclusion, there was no fluctuation in police revenue or how the money was spent in 2017 and 2018.
