Community Correctional Officer
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Who May Apply" maybe not a heading? Could be part of Overview? But we need to preserve substantive info.
We need to decide sections: Overview (maybe "About the role") includes description of duties. Responsibilities maybe same as duties. Requirements maybe qualifications. Qualifications maybe same as Minimum Qualifications. Skills maybe not explicit. Benefits: there is a "Total Compensation" section describing benefits. Pay: not specified (no salary). Schedule: not specified (no explicit schedule). So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because no specific content. Benefits we have content: list of benefits. So include Benefits heading.
We also have "Environmental Factors" maybe part of Responsibilities? Could be included under Responsibilities or About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could create a section "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we must fit content into those headings. We can put environmental factors under Responsibilities or About the role. Probably About the role includes overview of role; Responsibilities includes duties; Requirements includes qualifications; Qualifications maybe duplicate; but we can combine.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
Let's extract substantive content:
Overview: "Performs risk control or risk management contacts on offenders in the community. Duties may involve face-to-face contacts, telephone check, or collateral contacts with the offender's employer, family members, teachers, landlords, vocational counselors, and service providers. Duties involve application of external controls on an offender in order to prevent and deter anti-social and criminogenic behavior. The contact may include reviewing the use of alco-sensors, electronic monitoring equipment, urinalysis testing, and surveillance. Assists an offender in the development of personal internal controls through review of an offender's relapse plan, thinking reports, or journal, as well as participation in a treatment group. Conducts collateral contracts with family members and others. In collaboration with the team, evaluates an offender's performance in relation to stages of change to determine contact standards. Provides Probation and Parole Officers and supervision team with input from field contacts for case plan development or modification. Provides perspective from field contacts to the supervision team and the assigned offender for Case Planning conferences (CPC). May take emergency actions with local law enforcement agencies, up to and including re-incarceration, subject to review of the supervisor. May monitor the performance of offenders assigned to a correctional facility. Performs resident investigations in compliance with the Intermediate Sanctions Report (ISR) or pre-release from incarceration to assess supportive living environment. Prepares written reports such as affidavits, incident reports, running records, and furloughs on assigned offenders' caseloads. May be required to testify in court or at parole board hearings. Involved in the transport of offenders in state vehicles. Performs related duties as required."
That's duties.

If you would like more information about this position, please contact Sandra.Williams-Crossley@vermont.gov. Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online to be considered. Please note that multiple positions in the same work location may be filled from this job posting." This is application instructions; we should remove application instructions per rule: remove application instructions. So we drop that.
Environmental Factors: "Duties are performed in the homes, places of employment, and other locations frequented by assigned inmates as well as in a standard office setting. Duties include working closely with local police departments in arrest situations or in the performance of field supervision check. High stress situations are predictable, even frequent. The potential of physical assault or injury is present. A valid motor vehicle operator's license is required. Overtime and emergency duty are predictable. Shift assignments may change in accordance with the needs of the office, including any of three shifts and weekend assignments as well potentially working within a correctional facility."
Minimum Qualifications: "Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social service or a related human services field OR Associate's degree AND one (1) year or more of experience in corrections, human services, military service, law enforcement or other related field. OR High School diploma or equivalent AND two (2) years or more of experience in corrections, human services, military service, law enforcement or other related field. Note: A valid motor vehicle operator's license is required."
DOC PREA Requirements: This is legal/boilerplate? It's about PREA requirements; might be considered legal/EEO? It's a requirement but maybe we keep as part of Requirements? It's about providing info; could be considered part of Requirements. However it's somewhat boilerplate but still specific. We'll keep as part of Requirements.
Conviction History Requirements: "Candidates who have any felony conviction record or who, within the past five (5) years, have been placed under supervision or sanctioned for a misdemeanor conviction must receive a waiver from the Commissioner of Corrections in order to be considered for employment. You may access the application and corresponding documents by clicking here. Once you have completed the application, please send it directly to the hiring manager identified as the contact person in this job posting." This includes application instructions; we should remove application instructions. The substantive part: requirement about felony conviction waiver. We'll keep that as part of Requirements.
Special Requirements: "Candidates must pass any level of background investigation applicable to the position. In accordance with AHS Policy 4.02, Hiring Standards, Vermont and/or national criminal record checks, as well as DMV and adult and child abuse registry checks, as appropriate to the position under recruitment, will be conducted on candidates, with the exception of those who are current classified state employees seeking transfer, promotion or demotion into an AHS classified position or are persons exercising re-employment (RIF) rights." Keep as Requirements.
Total Compensation: list of benefits. We'll put under Benefits heading.
Equal Opportunity Employer: boilerplate EEO, remove.
Thus sections:
- About the role: maybe overview paragraph summarizing role. Could use the first paragraph(s) of Overview as About the role.
- Responsibilities: detailed duties list.
- Requirements: includes Minimum Qualifications, DOC PREA, Conviction History, Special Requirements, Environmental Factors? Environmental factors maybe part of Responsibilities or About the role. Could be under Responsibilities as working conditions.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert duties into list items. Also requirements into list.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific contacts, equipment, etc.
We'll create:
About the role

Involved in the transport of offenders in state vehicles. Performs related duties as required.
That's a big paragraph; maybe we should split into Responsibilities list. But About the role can be a summary; we can keep the overview as paragraph.
Then Responsibilities: we can list duties as - each duty. But we already included many duties in About the role; we might duplicate. Better to keep About the role brief summary, and Responsibilities list the duties.
Let's craft About the role as a brief summary: "The Community Correctional Officer performs risk control and risk management contacts with offenders in the community, applying external controls, assisting with internal controls, conducting field contacts, preparing reports, and collaborating with supervision teams."
But we must not invent or summarize away detail; summarizing is allowed? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail. So we should not lose detail. So we need to keep all details somewhere. If we put all details in Responsibilities list, we can keep About the role as a short generic statement that doesn't omit detail? But that would be summarizing away detail. Better to not have About the role at all? But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We could omit About the role and put all details under Responsibilities. However the instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, etc). It doesn't require we include all those headings; we include only those with real specific content. So we could have only Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits sections. That would preserve all detail.
