The table and charts illustrate the sources of budget for police and categories the money was spent on in two different years, 2017 and 2018. The figures are in millions of euros.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that the largest source of police budget comes from National government, while it was mostly spent on wages.
There were three sources of the budget: national government, local taxes, and other sources. The national government accounted for the largest part, with the figure being 175.5 million euros in 2017. The number slightly increased to around 178 million euros in the following year. Being the smallest contribution, around 38 million euros came from other sources, remaining at the same level for both years. Interestingly, local taxes drastically rose by almost 10 million euros, from 91.2 to 102.3 euros, making the total amount of budget around 319 million euros in 2018.
Moving on to how the budget is spent, despite a slight drop from the third quarter to around 70% in 2018, salaries remained the largest part of it. While technology, which was the smallest percentage of the expenditure, increased to 14% in 2018, buildings and transport stayed equally the same in both years, with the proportion of 17%.
