Note: Totals may not add up due to rounding. Expenditure figures represent gross operating expenditures and include costs that are paid from police service budgets and benefits paid from other sources. Revenues, recoveries and capital expenditures are excluded. Includes municipal, provincial and territorial, federal and other Royal Canadian Mounted Police expenditures. While most Police Administration Survey data on police strength pertain to the snapshot date (May 15, 2014 for the most recent data), data on expenditures refer to either the calendar or fiscal year (2013 for the most recent data). Constant dollars represent dollars of a particular base year, which are adjusted (by inflation or deflation) to show changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was used to calculate constant dollars over a base year of 2002 (2002=100). Note that historical constant dollar data are revised each year as the base year for calculation changes periodically. Data from the CPI used to calculate constant dollars are the most recent data available at the time this article was produced.
