Overall, it can be seen that the national government contributed the most to the police budget in both years. Local taxes were the second most important source of money. Other sources such as grants contributed the least. While in 2017, the government allocated 175.5m pounds for the police budget, this amount increased marginally to 177.8m pounds in 2018. The contribution of local taxes was 91.2m pounds in 2017 and 102.3m pounds in 2018. The contribution of other sources remained more or less the same in both years at around 38 m pounds.
