And council tax hikes may well be related to this stuff?

The amount listed in the above totals to £1,384,264.

"The budget for West Yorkshire Police in 2024–2025 is £615.5 million" (quick google)

Thus these figures represent roughly 0.2% of total budget.

So it seems quite unlikely?

You probably need to learn to look at numbers in proportion, rather than seeing "big numbers" and saying "That's lots!"

If you'd like another stat

The entire West Yorkshire police budget is equal to 0.15% of your pal Elon's treasure trove.
