Emergency Communications Operator (911 Dispatcher)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "View the full job description at ..." and "Recruitment Contact". Also remove "For Current LCSO Employees***"? That's specific content about internal process; maybe keep? It's part of posting but maybe considered internal instruction; but it's not boilerplate. However it's about application process; maybe we should drop application instructions. The instruction says: remove application instructions. The "For Current LCSO Employees***" is about internal process for letter of support; that's application instruction. So drop.
Also drop "Hiring process steps include, but are not limited to :" list; that's application instructions. So drop.
Also drop "Applicants Must Meet All Of The Following" list? That's qualifications/requirements; we should keep as part of Qualifications/Requirements. It's not just application instructions; it's eligibility criteria. So keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract:
Overview: description of role, mission, etc.
Job Details: full-time, in-person, shift work required, starting pay range $33.8351 - $40.6021/hour.
Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list after "What you'll be doing:").
What We're Looking For: list of attributes (proven track record, excellent customer service, self-motivated, etc.)
Qualifications: Must be able to type 40 wpm with accuracy, High school diploma or GED required, Possession of, or ability to obtain, CPR and EMD certification required.
Benefits: For all temporary positions, sick leave and Employee Assistance Program are available, and other benefits may be available. Larimer County offers the following for all Regular/Limited Term positions: Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits. Flexible Spending Accounts / Health Savings Account Short and Long-Term Disability. Employee Assistance Program Basic Life/Accidental Death & Dismemberment Accident Insurance Critical Illness Insurance Retirement Plan 401(a) with employer match. 457(b) Deferred Compensation. Paid time off, including vacation, sick, and holidays.
Supplemental Information Schedule: details about shifts: Current shifts: 6 am-4 pm/ 10 am-8 pm/ 4 pm-2 am/ 8 pm-6 am, working one end of the week or the alternate (Sun-Wed) or (Wed-Sun). In the event of an emergency like a wildfire, shifts can go to 12-hour schedules. Schedules are subject to change.
We should not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state pay range, schedule, benefits. So we include those sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate.
We have Overview content; could be "About the role". Could also be "Overview". But they gave example list; we can use "About the role". Use that heading.
Responsibilities heading.
Qualifications heading (maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications). We'll use "Qualifications".
Benefits heading.
Pay heading.
Schedule heading.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

But we need to ensure we didn't duplicate Employee Assistance Program (listed twice). Could combine but it's okay.
We should also include the "Job Details" about full-time, in-person, shift work required. Already included in Schedule section maybe. Could also include in About the role? But we have schedule section covering shift work. The "Job Details" also mentions full-time, in-person position. We could include that in About the role or Schedule. Let's put in About the role: mention full-time, in-person.
Thus About the role paragraph: "One Agency, One Mission: Public Safety At the Larimer County Sheriff's Office, our dispatchers don't follow the action-we lead it. Every response begins with a calm, steady voice guiding the way. We are looking for skilled listeners and communicators to join our team as Emergency Communications Operators (9-1-1 Dispatchers). When every second matters, our team steps in with precision, compassion, and a fierce commitment to the people we serve. This career isn't just a headset and console...it is the heartbeat of public safety, directing life safety with extraordinary care. We serve a bold, resilient community-and we're looking for people who reflect that spirit. This is a full-time, in-person position."
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading; but we can mention it in prose.
Now ensure we removed all boilerplate: no EEO, no recruitment contact, no application instructions, no "View the full job description", no "For Current LCSO Employees***", no hiring process steps, no "Applicants Must Meet All Of The Following" (we kept as qualifications but we turned into list; that's okay). Also removed "Supplemental Information Schedule :" heading; we incorporated schedule details.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: "Larimer County is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove. "Recruitment Contact :" remove. Also remove "As marijuana is an illegal substance..." that's part of eligibility? Actually that's about drug policy; could be considered part of qualifications? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered substantive. The instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The drug policy is not EEO; it's a condition. Might be considered part of qualifications. But it's also somewhat legal boilerplate. However it's specific to the job: they state marijuana illegal under federal law, testing positive leads to revocation. That's substantive. Should we keep? It's about eligibility/drug testing. Could be considered part of Qualifications. But it's also a statement about policy. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not EEO. It's a drug policy. I'd keep it as part of Qualifications maybe as a separate bullet.
But we already have Qualifications list; we could add bullet: "Must pass a pre-employment drug screen; marijuana use (medical or otherwise) will result in revocation of contingent offer." However the text: "As marijuana is an illegal substance under federal law, testing positive for marijuana (medical or otherwise) or any other substance for which the county tests will result in the contingent offer of employment being revoked. Successful completion of the drug screen is defined as obtaining a negative result. The Sheriff’s Office prohibits possession and use of marijuana by employees under any circumstances and expects employees to comply with federal law."
We could summarize but must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact statements? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact wording, not summarize. However we can keep as a paragraph under Qualifications maybe.
