We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job Title: Police Cadet (but we must not repeat as heading)
- Salary: $26.30 Hourly (also Anticipated Hiring Range: $26.30 Hourly; 2026 Full Salary Range: $26.30 – $30.77 Hourly)
- Location: 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN
- Job Type: Temporary
- Job Number: 2026-00029B (should not be heading; can be in a short p)
- Department: Police
- Opening Date: 08/24/2026
- Closing Date: 9/20/2026 11:59 PM Central
- FLSA: Non-Exempt
- Bargaining Unit: NU
- Description: includes Primary Objective, Examples of Duties, Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Required, Minimum/Desirable Qualifications, Supplemental Information (Supervision, Conditions of Employment, etc.)
- Benefits: The posting mentions: "Benefits Ineligible" for Temporary/Seasonal employees; also mentions Ongoing Part-Time employees who are employed for more than 6 months will make contributions to pension program (PERA) etc. But this position is Temporary, so benefits: "Temporary/Seasonal employees do not receive benefits outside of Paid-time Off (PTO) at rate outlined in employee handbook." Also "Ongoing Part-Time employees who are employed for more than 6 months will make contributions to the pension program (PERA) through payroll deductions unless they qualify for one of the exemptions. In addition, Part-Time may receive Paid-time Off (PTO) at rate outlined in employee handbook and eligible for paid parental leave after 6 months of employment." However, the position is Temporary, so we can say benefits: PTO only. The posting says "Benefits Ineligible" earlier. So we can include a Benefits section with that detail.
- Pay: we have salary range. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly given; maybe "Temporary" but schedule not given. No explicit schedule like full-time/part-time hours. The posting says "Part-Time; Non-Exempt; Non-Union; Benefits Ineligible". Actually later: "Anticipated Hiring Range: $26.30 Hourly 2026 Full Salary Range: $26.30 – $30.77 Hourly Part-Time; Non-Exempt; Non-Union; Benefits Ineligible". So schedule: Part-Time. So we can include Schedule section with Part-Time.
- Responsibilities: Examples of Duties list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications etc.
- Qualifications: Minimum/Desirable Qualifications.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Required.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, supplemental questions (the long list of questions). Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like duties list exactly as given (maybe as bullet points). Must not omit any duty.
We need to include location, job type, department, dates, FLSA, bargaining unit maybe as metadata in a short p.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. So we can include a p with "Job Number: 2026-00029B | Department: Police | Opening Date: 08/24/2026 | Closing Date: 09/20/2026 11:59 PM Central | FLSA: Non-Exempt | Bargaining Unit: NU". That seems okay.
Now sections:
- About the role: Could use Primary Objective paragraph. That is substantive. So
.
Now Minimum Qualifications list: we have three.
Desirable Qualifications list: four items.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Required list: four items.
Now Benefits: we have statement about benefits ineligible; also mention "Ongoing Part-Time employees who are employed for more than 6 months will make contributions to the pension program (PERA) through payroll deductions unless they qualify for one of the exemptions. In addition, Part-Time may receive Paid-time Off (PTO) at rate outlined in employee handbook and eligible for paid parental leave after 6 months of employment." However, the position is Temporary, so maybe we should not include that as it's not applicable? The posting says "Benefits Ineligible" and then later describes part-time benefits. Since it's Temporary, we can state that Temporary/Seasonal employees do not receive benefits outside of PTO. That's accurate.
Now Pay: we have "Anticipated Hiring Range: $26.30 Hourly 2026 Full Salary Range: $26.30 – $30.77 Hourly Part-Time; Non-Exempt; Non-Union; Benefits Ineligible". So we can put that.
Schedule: "Part-Time". Good.
Now we need to include location, job type, department, dates, FLSA, bargaining unit in a short p.
Let's craft:

We must ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not include application instructions, supplemental questions, EEO, legal, etc. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. Check for any other substantive content: "Primary Objective" paragraph includes details about apprenticeship, advancement, enrollment requirements, etc. We'll include that as About the role. Also "Examples of Duties" list is long; we need to include all. Let's copy the duties list exactly as in text: - Assist in the routine maintenance and cleaning of police vehicles including transport to and from repair facilities - Provide no-contact monitoring, meal preparation and laundry duties in detention facility - Maintain community relations by conducting tours of the Police Department - Complete forms and reports as required - Assist with crime prevention activities - Assist at police department front counter - Provide delivery services including, but not limited to, packages to crime lab or BCA, documents to court or attorneys' offices, and agenda packets to Mayor/City Council members - Assist property technician or investigations division in transportation or recovery of evidence or found property; pick up reports, prints or photo lineups for the investigations division - Assist in setting up traffic speed trailer - Assist with Animal Control duties, to include dealing with animal complaints, barking dogs, injured animals, dog bites, loose dogs/cats, etc. - Clean kennels, feed animals, intake, and release of impounded animals - Provide limited amount of filing, data entry, and general clerical support We need to ensure each asLocation: 1800 W.

Now About the role: Use the Primary Objective paragraph. Let's extract that paragraph: "Primary Objective The City of Bloomington is seeking individuals academically pursuing a future career in law enforcement are needed to fill positions as Police Cadet. This position is identified as an apprenticeship for individuals who will provide various support services to the Police Department. Bloomington Police Cadets have the opportunity to advance to the position of Police Officer upon completion of the academic program. This position is not designed to be long-term. Individuals hired as a Police Cadet must be attending a minimum of ¾ enrollment in a post-secondary law enforcement program or college-level courses in criminal justice, police science, or related subjects.

Should the Cadet terminate attending school, their employment with the City of Bloomington as a Cadet will end no later than 6 months after leaving school *Please note that meeting deadlines is an essential part of the selection process. Failure to meet specified deadlines may result in disqualification from consideration for this position.*" We need to keep the asterisks? Probably keep as is. We'll include as...

Check we didn't miss any substantive info: The "CITY VALUES & EXPECTATIONS" section includes a list of values. That is substantive; should we include? It's not under a standard heading but could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Values". However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits
