County Board Okays 5 Year Contract With FOP
The Wabash County Board of Commissioners has approved a new five year contract with the Fraternal Order of Police that covers the county’s deputies and corrections officers. Under terms of the new contract, the eight FOP members will receive a 3% raise in each of the 5 years, accumulated comp time will go from 32 to 40 hours, and $2,500 in COVID-related hazard pay for each of the next three years. Sheriff Derek Morgan said the contract was a good one for both the county and the FOP.
