Notes:
1. The data only dates back to 2000 when the Home Office regional presence was established.
2. The data only refers to funds handled locally and not to the major policing budgets administered through the Home Office.
3. Other departmental funding such as Neighbourhood Renewal administered by CLG have not been included. However it can be assumed some elements of this funding have contributed towards community safety e.g. wardens.
