Just that number alone is like 4 years' worth of my city's total budget. Like that's beyond incomprehensible.

Lots of equipment to buy and maintain cars need gas and you got helicopters and all kinds of stuff. The police basically run 24/7 as well so everything adds up rather quickly.

Are you talking about NYC, the city of nine million residents with millions more in the city everyday?

Not to mention its the biggest shipping port on the entire eastern seaboard. As well as a massive terrorist target. Since you are apparently to young, look up the September 11th terrorist attacks. You might have heard it referred to as 9/11. After you read about that then you will understand why the police budget is so large.
