Who is eligible to use the EAP?

• A. Anyone in the public
• B. Only sworn officers
• C. Family members only
• D. Any Sheriff's Office employee or family member

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the Employee Assistance Program is a confidential support service provided to the workplace that extends to those closest to the employee as well. This means it’s designed to help not only the staff themselves but also their immediate family members who may be affected by work-related stress, personal issues, or relationships that impact job performance. That’s why the option that includes any Sheriff's Office employee or their family members fits best: it recognizes that both the employee and their family can benefit from EAP resources. It isn’t a public service, it isn’t limited to sworn officers only, and it isn’t restricted to family members alone.
