As with other campus departments, compensation for employees is the top expense and a primary use of funding by the UC Davis Police Department. For the fiscal year ending in 2021, almost 85% ($5.92 million) of the police budget on the Davis campus went toward compensation for its employees, while 15% ($1.082 million) covers supplies and other operating expenses.
