Notes:
The local police costs (351 towns) was a scientific wild ass guess (SWAG) based on Framingham's police department costs ($10.6 million) and its population (68,000) versus Massachusetts (6,400,000). The formula used was: (6,400,000 / 68,000 ) * 10.6 million = $ 997,647,058 Every quasi-independent agency of the state that has its own revenue stream also may have security related expenses. Such agencies include the MBTA, MassPort, MWRA, etc. |
