It cuts off at "more severe c". Probably truncated but we keep as is.
We need to format responsibilities as - items. Each sentence could be a list item. We'll split by sentences.
Sentences:
1. Maintains security in buildings, towers, and other posts of an adult correctional facility, intervenes during emergencies or altercations, and gains physical control of offenders.
2. Supervises, escorts, and/or transports the movement of offenders inside and outside the correctional facility, conducts periodic counts, and searches offenders and their living quarters for contraband.
3. Supervises housing units and offenders during work, recreational, and religious activities; conducts health and safety hazards inspections.
4. Performs random and specific searches of residents and visitors to prevent the introduction of contraband into the facility.
5. Searches housing, buildings, physical plants, supply areas, and personal property for weapons and contraband by following institutional procedures and guidelines.
6. Conducts interviews and obtains the statements of victims, witnesses, suspects, and other involved parties during incidents.
7. Prepares appropriate tracking, reports, and documentation pertaining to occurrences, actions, and incidents detailing concerns or violations for use in disciplinary and mitigation proceedings.
8. Discusses issues and minor adjustment problems with offenders and refers more severe c
We'll keep the last as is.
Now sections:
- About the role: could be the summary paragraph(s). We have summary: "To perform work as a Corrections Officer in accordance with established rules, regulations, post orders, and specific instructions; receives general administrative direction. To maintain professional and personal integrity, ethics, and a positive community standing in and outside the work environment; establishes a correctional environment supportive of rehabilitative activities and access to healthcare services reflective of reducing the risks of recidivism. This position works as an armed post."
Also "YOUR EXPERIENCE COUNTS:" paragraph about substitution.
We could combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: as above.
- Requirements: could include Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications (none), After-hire requirements, Trainee option, etc. But we need to decide sections: Qualifications, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Pay info: salary range, sign-on bonus, hazardous duty pay, trainee pay rate. Also mention of total compensation.
We have Schedule? Not explicitly given; maybe full-time implied but not schedule details. We should not create Schedule section unless posting states it. It doesn't give specific schedule (e.g., shift). So omit Schedule.
Benefits: mention of $10,000 sign on bonus, hazardous duty pay, maybe medical examination at state expense, training, certification. Could be considered benefits. But we need to see if posting explicitly states benefits. It mentions "$10,000 SIGN ON BONUS", "Hazardous Duty Pay of $60 biweekly", "See total compensation information at the bottom of announcement." Also medical exam at state expense, training at Corrections Academy. Could be considered benefits. We'll include a Benefits section with those items.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications (None), After-hire requirements, Trainee option, Career Advancement Opportunities maybe.
Requirements: maybe similar to Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which to include.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (minimum, preferred, after-hire, trainee, advancement), Pay, Benefits. Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from duties but not explicit. Better not to create Skills unless explicit. So omit Skills.
Requirements: Could be used for minimum qualifications etc. But we already have Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including minimum, preferred, after-hire, trainee, advancement), Pay, Benefits. That's 5 sections.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to format.
- About the role:
About the role
then with summary + experience counts paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
"To perform work as a Corrections Officer in accordance with established rules, regulations, post orders, and specific instructions; receives general administrative direction.

This position works as an armed post. Each additional year of approved formal education may be substituted for one year of required work experience and/or each additional year of approved work experience may be substituted for one year of required formal education."
