Department Head is the representative of the CO in matters pertaining to the department.

• A. Department Head
• B. CMEO
• C. Division Officer
• D. Work Center Supervisor

Answer: (A)

In a department, the CO relies on the Department Head to act as the department’s representative for matters within that unit. The Department Head is the senior officer in the department, responsible for policy execution, readiness, training, discipline, and day-to-day administration, and serves as the primary liaison between the CO and the department’s personnel. Roles like CMEO (focused on equal opportunity), Division Officer (handles a smaller subdivision), and Work Center Supervisor (leads a specific work center) manage narrower scopes and do not carry the same department-wide authority or represent the CO for the entire department. That makes the Department Head the best answer.
