Note(s):
Totals may not add up due to rounding. Expenditure figures represent gross operating expenditures and include costs that are paid from police department budgets and benefits paid from other sources. Revenues, recoveries and capital expenditures are excluded. Due to the timing of data collection, the above figures may not correspond to the actual expenditures shown on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Year-end Final Reconciliation Report. Provincial expenditures should not be compared.
