<p class="MsoNormal">Delaware recently reclassified all our Delaware Natural Resources and Environmental Control Enforcement Officers to Natural Resource Police Officers. This had no affect on pay grade or pay AND they have a Union negotiated pay scale with
step increases. HOWEVER, through Delaware’s FY 23 budget epilogue we opened the possibility of positions, not otherwise covered under Delaware Code, to receive Hazardous Duty Pay based on 3 levels as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Level B $1,100/year<o:p></o:p></p>
