We were told that the fund used was the General Fund; this is the first subclassification. The second subclassification is function/program; The Public Safety function/program typically includes the police and fire departments (organizational units). Activities subclassifications are generally the major operating functions within a department. The object (object-of-expenditure) subclassification refers to the physical description of items purchased or services received, in this case, uniforms.
