Which individual may NOT direct a member to participate in a mandatory rehabilitation program?

The Chief of Personnel does not typically have the authority to direct a member to participate in a mandatory rehabilitation program. This role is more administrative and focused on personnel management rather than medical or emergency response concerns. The responsibility for mandating rehabilitation usually falls to individuals whose roles involve health, safety, or immediate command.

On the other hand, the Commissioner, Medical Examiner, and EAP Coordinator each have clear authority in matters related to health and wellbeing. The Commissioner can make high-level decisions regarding personnel and resources, including health and rehabilitation policies. The Medical Examiner is equipped to assess and diagnose health conditions that could require rehabilitation. The EAP Coordinator is specifically trained to address employee assistance needs, which encompass mental health support and rehabilitation coordination.

Therefore, the Chief of Personnel lacks the relevant authority and health-related expertise that the other roles possess to mandate participation in rehabilitation programs.
