2 Key changes are highlighted in gray in the table above and are discussed in the sections below.

Federal crime and disaster

The $14 billion increase in federal crime and disaster expenditures was driven primarily by a $13 billion or 177% increase in disaster relief expenditures. The number of billion-dollar weather and climate disaster incidents decreased by 2 or 13% during this period.48 Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma all occurred in late fiscal year 2017, and the costs associated with addressing these disasters were part of the fiscal year 2018 results.

State and local crime and disaster

The $9 billion increase in state and local crime and disaster expenditures was driven primarily by a $7 billion or 4% increase in law enforcement and corrections costs, reflecting a $5 billion or 4% increase in law enforcement expenditures and a $2 billion or 3% increase in corrections expenditures.

The $5 billion increase in law enforcement expenditures was driven mainly by a $4 billion or 4% increase in police protection operations costs. Annualized gross payroll costs (including wages and healthcare costs, excluding pension benefits) for state and local police protection employees grew $2 billion or 3% during this period, while the number of state and local police protection employees increased 1%. During this period, the violent crime rate decreased 4% and related arrests increased 1%, while the property crime rate decreased 7% and related arrests decreased 7%.

The $2 billion increase in corrections expenditures comprised mainly a $2 billion or 3% increase in correctional operations costs. Annualized gross payroll costs for state and local corrections employees grew $1 billion or 3% during this period, while the number of correctional employees decreased 1%. Comparing these years, there was a 2% and 1% decrease in the number of people incarcerated in state prisons and local jails, respectively.
