Demand XII also carries vigilance. Jails sit on a different demand. Those bigger or neighbour numbers are not Police. The Police number above is running costs plus buildings and gear.
Salaries not split by station
Named police stations are not printed as allotments. We do not divide this total by the number of stations.
