The table and pie charts show data on the budget of the police in a particular area of Britain in the years 2017 and 2018. The table provides information about where the money came from, and the pie charts compare what it was used for.
Overall, we can clearly see that the government provided the largest amount of money, and the highest proportion of the budget was spent on workers’ salaries.
According to the table, the largest amount of money came from the government, with around £175 million in 2017 and £177 million in 2018. Local taxes provided the police with approximately £91 million in 2017. However, this figure increased noticeably by almost £11 million. Other sources, such as grants, provided nearly £38 million in each year.
As the pie charts show, the biggest proportion of the budget was spent on salaries. To be precise, 75% and 69% of the total money was spent on officers and staff in the two given years, respectively. The same 17% proportion of the budget was spent on construction and transportation in 2017 and 2018. The budget spent on technologies saw an increase from 8% to 14%.
