Deputy Sheriff, Jail
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Key info:
- Job title: SHERIFF DEPUTY (JAIL / CORRECTIONS) KOOTENAI COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE (but we don't repeat as heading)
- "Are you ready to start a new career? No experience required. We will train you!" (maybe part of About the role)
- Testing date: Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Remote testing opportunities available. Written and physical agility tests morning, oral board interviews afternoon for those who pass. Come prepared to participate in an interview.
- "NOW SOME INFORMATION ON THE POSITION:" then mission description: hold safely and securely all prisoners lawfully committed to custody, etc. Also rights and privileges.
- Pay: "$29.92 - $33.76 DOE (includes .50/hr shift differential)"
- Benefits: comprehensive benefits package includes free medical clinic (primary care, meds, lab services), Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program eligible (100% student loan forgiveness). Also local academy link.
- "WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY?" bullet points: Rewarding and meaningful work, providing a necessary service to your community; No need to travel for academy training.

- Contact: KCSO Recruiting Team email; Marcia Heglie email; phone.
We need to structure into sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: mission description, maybe also "No experience required. We will train you." and testing info? Testing could be part of Application process but we are to remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Testing date and remote testing opportunities maybe considered part of application process; but it's substantive info about selection process. Might be okay to include under About the role or a separate section like Selection Process? But we only allowed headings from list. Could put under About the role.
- Responsibilities: maybe the mission description and duties: hold prisoners safely, afford rights, etc. Could be responsibilities.
- Requirements: qualifications: HS diploma/GED, 12 months work experience, driver's license, age 18+, etc. Also lateral requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication. Could combine.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skill list.
- Benefits: benefits package details.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned; maybe shift differential .50/hr indicates shift work but not explicit schedule. No schedule info, so we should not create Schedule section.
Thus we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have concrete info.
We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details: mission statement, testing date, remote testing, written/physical agility, oral board, etc. Also "No experience required. We will train you." Also "POST Basic Detention Academy offered locally." Also "Ongoing paid educational and training opportunities", "Advancement opportunities", "Special teams opportunities", "Beautiful area to live and work.", "Annual increase in pay as outlined in Kootenai County Sworn Officer Matrix". Also "Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program eligible". Also "free medical clinic". Also "local academy" link. Also "Do you have student loan debt?" etc.
We need to embed links as tags? The original had markup with tabindex etc. We should preserve the link URLs and maybe the link text. We can simplify: link text. Keep the info.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some links but they are substantive (benefits, loan forgiveness, academy, disqualifiers, sworn officer matrix). Keep them.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; there is none visible besides the URL.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
Structure:
About the role
... include mission, no experience required, training, testing details, etc.
Maybe we split testing info into its own paragraph.Responsibilities
The mission of the Jail is to hold safely and securely all prisoners lawfully committed to the custody of the Kootenai County Sheriff, and those delivered by competent authority to the jail. While in custody, prisoners shall be afforded all rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Idaho.
Requirements
- High School Diploma or GED (no college degree required)
- At least 12 months of work experience
- Possess or have the ability to possess a driver's license and be insurable
- At least 18 years old

Qualifications
For lateral deputies: must meet all entry‑level requirements, have successfully completed a POST‑certified Basic Detention, Corrections or comparable Federal Academy, and have a minimum of twenty‑four (24) months experience in a detention/corrections facility as a detention deputy/corrections officer. Written test is waived for qualified lateral candidates.
But we might combine lateral into Requirements as a note. Better to have Requirements cover entry-level, and Qualifications cover lateral? But we can also have a single Requirements section that includes both entry-level and lateral specifics. Given we want few substantive sections, maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both entry-level and lateral. But the instruction says use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We can have both if we have distinct content. Let's decide: We'll have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (entry-level) - Qualifications (lateral) - Benefits - Pay That seems fine. Now Benefits section: include comprehensive benefits package: free medical clinic (primary care, meds, lab services), Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program eligible (100% student loan forgiveness), local academy link, maybe also mention ongoing paid educational and training opportunities, advancement opportunities, special teams, beautiful area, annual increase in pay (though that's pay-related, maybe belongs to Pay). But we can keep in Benefits as part of overall compensation. But Pay section already includes salary range and shift differential. Annual increase in pay could be in Pay as well. Let's allocate: Benefits: free medical clinic, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, local academy link (maybe also ongoing paid educational and training opportunities, advancement opportunities, special teams, beautiful area). However those are more like "Why should you apply?" but they are substantive. We could have a "Why Apply?" section but not in allowed headings. Could put under Benefits or About the role. Given we want to preserve all substantive info, we need to include those points somewhere. Maybe we create a section "Why Apply?" but not allowed heading. So we need to fit into allowed headings. We could put those under Benefits (as they are benefits of the job) or under About the role (as description). I'd put them under Benefits as they are job benefits. Thus Benefits section will include: - Comprehensive benefits package: free medical clinic (primary care, meds, lab services) - Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program eligible (100% student loan forgiveness) - Local academy link (POST Basic Detention Academy offered locally) - Ongoing paid educational and training opportunities - Advancement opportunities - Special teams opportunities: Detention Response Team, Range, Dive Rescue Team, Sonar Team and more. - Beautiful area to live and work. - Annual increase in pay as outlined in Kootenai County Sworn Officer Matrix (link) But annual increase in pay maybe belongs to Pay. However we can still mention it in Benefits as part of compensation; but to avoid duplication, maybe we mention it in Pay. Pay section: salary range $29.92 - $33.76 DOE (includes .50/hr shift differential). Also mention annual increase in pay as outlined in Kootenai County Sworn Officer Matrix (link). Could also mention shift differential. Thus Benefits will not include annual increase. Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections have concrete content. Now we need to remove boilerplate: lines like "For more information, please see: https://idahoworks.gov/jobs/2609425" (that's a link to the posting; maybe we can drop as it's just reference). Also "This job was posted by https://idahoworks.gov". Remove. Also remove "Click here to View The Full Job Description." (that's application instruction). Remove. Also remove "WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY?" heading (we are not using as heading). We'll incorporate its content. Also remove "DO YOU QUALIFY?" heading (we'll incorporate). Also remove "WE WELCOME LATERAL DEPUTIES AND CORRECTIONS OFFICERS:" heading (we'll incorporate). Also remove "CONTACT US:" heading (maybe we can keep contact info as part of About the role or a separate section? Not in allowed headings; we could put contact info in About the role or maybe drop as it's application instruction? Contact info is not exactly application instruction but could be considered part of how to apply. The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info could be considered part of that. Safer to drop contact info. However the instruction says "remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Contact info is likely application instruction. So we should drop it. Thus we will not include contact emails/phone. Now we need to preserve all substantive information: mission, testing date, remote testing, written/physical agility, oral board, etc. Also "No experience required. We will train you." Also "POST Basic Detention Academy offered locally." Also "Ongoing paid educational and training opportunities", "Advancement opportunities", "Special teams opportunities", "Beautiful area to live and work." Also "Annual increase in pay as outlined in Kootenai County Sworn Officer Matrix". Also "Free medical clinic", "Public Service Loan Forgiveness". Also "Local academy" link. Also the shift differential .50/hr. Now we need to
