The presented pie charts and table illustrate the expenditure and the corresponding funding of the British police in a specific region in the years 2017 and 2018.
Overall, what stands out from the table is that the three sources of funding, especially from the taxation sector, the police increased in 2018. Another interesting point is that spending on salaries dropped markedly, along with an opposite upward trend in the defensive technologies utilized by police members.
Looking at the details of the table, in 2017, funding by the local government, which contributed most, had registered 175.5m before it reached a slightly higher figure of 177.8m in 2018. In contrast, money from taxes and other sources recorded 91.2m and 38m respectively, in 2017. However, imposed taxation in 2018 increased significantly to 102.3m, unlike a mere half a million increase for the other sources.
If we consider the pie charts, facilities and transportation stood at the same value of 17% for both years. On the other hand, salaries witnessed a decrease of noticeable 6% in 2018 after it was three-quarters in 2017. Technology, however, soared, by the same corresponding 6%, from 8% to 14% in the years 2017 and 2018 in order.
