The provided table depicts data on the police budget in a specific area in Britain from 2017 to 2018, while the pie charts delineate the proportions of the expenditures during the same period.
In general, it is evident that all budget sources received in 2018 were higher than that in 2017. In addition, the expenditures of this money underwent some changes while the amount spent on buildings and transport remained unaltered throughout the period.
To elaborate, the majority of sources are attributed to the national government, with 175.5 and 177.8 million pounds in 2017 and 2018, respectively. While other unspecific sources, starting from 38 million, exhibited a marginal increase of 0.5 million pounds in 2018, substantial growth was observed in the local taxes sector, with an 11.1 million rise in a year. Therefore, the overall budget saw an increase from 304.7 million to 318.6 million in 2018.
Regarding the pie charts, while most money was spent on salaries for officers and staff, the least went for the spending in the technology sector. The buildings and transport segment remained unchanged, with a stability of 17% during the period. Meanwhile, the opposite was observed in the remaining sectors, with a rise of 6% in technology and a drop of a similar amount in the salaries of police.
