The city's budget documents for the current fiscal year are here[1]. The NYPD doesn't appear to publish their own "internal" budget, but many details can be gleaned from their finance committee reports[2].
A large part of the NYPD's budget goes to wages, in parts because of (1) bloated wages for senior officers, and (2) rampant overtime abuse[3]. Some of that money would be recaptured in the form of income taxes, except that the NYPD has successfully lobbied to exclude itself from NYC's civil servant residency requirements[4].
