A contract agreement appears to have been reached between Wicomico County and the local Fraternal Order of Police.
F.O.P. President Mary Fisher says a deal has been struck that would protect any Wicomico County Sheriff deputies who have been injured on the job.
The new agreement also includes a deal on wage hikes.
Earlier this month the police organization had argued that the county had tried to change the contract so that it did not include disability protection which it said was essential.
WMDT reports that so far the agreement is just a proposal and that nothing has been signed.
