Corrections Deputy
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Douglas County Sheriff's Office - Corrections Division". Use sections only.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: could include summary: Full-time 40 hour per week position, union position, hiring list for future openings, etc. Might be okay.
- Responsibilities: Essential Job Duties list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list (the bullet list). Also maybe include academic/physical proficiencies? Those could be under Qualifications or Requirements. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (minimum qualifications). Also we have Qualifications (maybe screening/selection process). Could combine but better separate: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = screening & evaluation (academic/physical proficiencies, NEOGOV app) and selection process (written exam, etc). Skills: abilities like communicate effectively orally and in writing, ability to establish/maintain effective working relationships, ability to be certified, visual/hearing acuity, etc. Also preference for public safety experience/training. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: benefit package, childcare, union representation.
- Schedule: work schedule.
- Pay: not present, omit.
We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". So only include those with content.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract.

**Skills**: maybe we already covered communication etc under Requirements.

To avoid duplication, maybe we keep Skills minimal: Ability to communicate effectively orally and in writing; Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships; Ability to use firearm and non-lethal weaponry with high accuracy; Ability to operate two-way radio under normal and stressful conditions. But we risk missing some. However instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must not omit any substantive info. If we put communication ability under Requirements, that's fine; we don't need to duplicate under Skills. But we need to include a Skills section only if there is real specific content not already covered. The posting includes "Ability to communicate effectively orally and in writing." and "Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships." Also "Preference may be given to applicants with public safety experience/training." That could be under Skills or Qualifications. But we already have those in Requirements list. So we could omit Skills section to avoid duplication. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine some. But we must include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. If we put communication ability under Requirements, that's fine; we don't need a separate Skills section. However the instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are possible headings but we can omit if no content. So we can omit Skills if we deem its content already covered elsewhere. But we risk losing the explicit mention of those abilities as skills. However they are already in Requirements list, so they are preserved. So we can omit Skills.
Benefits: benefit package, childcare, union representation, hiring list? Actually hiring list is about future openings, not a benefit. But we could include under About the role. Benefits: medical/vision/dental/long-term disability/basic life coverage, County-paid PERS retirement after required waiting periods, onsite childcare at discounted rate, union position.
Schedule: 12-hour rotating shifts that include nights and weekends.
Pay: not present, omit.
