Entry Police Officer

On-siteInformation TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. The posting is about a civil service exam for Police Officer. It includes details: exam date, location, typing test, physical assessment, preliminary interviews, qualifications list, etc. No explicit sections like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We can create sections based on content: maybe "About the Examination", "Minimum Qualifications", "Application Process", "Testing Details", "Additional Information". But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. We have qualifications (minimum qualifications). We have schedule (exam date/time). We have maybe "About the role" could be description of police officer position? Not really given. There's no responsibilities. No benefits, pay, skills. So we should include only sections that have real content: maybe "Qualifications" (minimum qualifications) and "Schedule" (exam date, time, location). Also maybe "Application Process" but not in list; we should stick to allowed headings. Could we use "About the role" for general description? The posting includes notice of civil service examination, not role description. Might be okay to include "About the role" with brief description: "Entrance Examination for Police Officer". But that's basically repeating job title; instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. But we could still have a short paragraph about the exam. However "About the role" might be considered not specific content. Safer to include only sections we have definite content: Qualifications and Schedule. Also maybe "Requirements" overlaps with qualifications. But we can put qualifications under "Qualifications". Schedule: date, time, location, typing test, physical assessment, preliminary interviews. Also application deadline. That's schedule info. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting within those sections. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement, accessibility, accommodation request. Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also remove "Further information may be obtained by calling..." maybe that's not boilerplate but contact info; could be considered substantive? It's contact info for further information. Might keep? It's not a list; could be placed in a

    . However it's contact info; might be considered not boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The contact info is not those; we can keep. Also need to drop Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Also fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive info: - Notice of Civil Service Examination: City of Hurst will be giving an Entrance Examination for Police Officer. - Applicants must apply online at www.hursttx.gov/employment - Applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 P.M. on Thursday, November 5, 2026. - Written examination will commence at 9 A.M., on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2026, at the Hurst Justice Center, 825 Thousand Oaks Drive, Hurst, TX 76054. - Applicants will complete the typing test (25 wpm net) and physical assessment on the day of the test. - Preliminary interviews may also commence on the same day at the Hurst Justice Center. - Applicants must pass the written examination to be eligible to take the physical assessment and participate in preliminary interviews. - Specific reporting instructions for the typing test, physical assessment and preliminary interviews will be given at the completion of the written examination. - Further information may be obtained by calling the Hurst Police Dept. 817-788-7111 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. - Minimum qualifications list (as given). - Applicants must also review Minimum Qualifications and Disqualifications for the position at www.hursttx.gov/policecareers, and then click on “Becoming a Police Officer.” - Completed Personal History Statement (PHS) must be presented prior to entry for the written examination. - Five veteran points will be given on the written test for individuals who have passed the written exam and received an Honorable Discharge from the United States Military. A copy of the DD form 214 (showing type of discharge) MUST be presented at the time of written test to receive five additional points on a passing test score. - The eligibility list created as a result of this entrance examination will be effective for twelve (12) months from the date of the written examination unless exhausted sooner. - The City of Hurst is an Equal Opportunity Employer. (EEO boilerplate - remove) - The testing facility is wheelchair accessible and accessible parking spaces are available. Requests for accommodations or interpretive services must be made 48 hours prior to this test. Please contact the Human Resources Dept. at 817-788-7012 or Fax 817-788-7057, or call TDD 1-800-RELAY-TX (1-800-735-2989) for information or assistance. (Accommodation info maybe not boilerplate but could be considered accessibility; might keep? It's not EEO; it's accommodation request. Might keep as substantive.) We need to decide what to keep. The instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request is not EEO; it's about accessibility. Might keep. But also "The City of Hurst is an Equal Opportunity Employer." is EEO, remove. Now structure: We could have:

    Schedule

    ... details about application deadline, exam date/time/location, typing test, physical assessment, preliminary interviews, reporting instructions, eligibility list duration.

    Maybe also include contact info in Schedule or separate

    .

    Qualifications

    • ... each qualification as list items.
    We also need to include the note about reviewing Minimum Qualifications and Disqualifications at website, PHS submission, veteran points, DD214 requirement. Those are part of qualifications or process. Could include them in Qualifications section as additional list items. We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each qualification exactly as written. Let's list qualifications from text: - United States Citizen (born or naturalized) or Honorably Discharged Legal Permanent Resident. - Effective September 1, 2023, per Texas Senate Bill 252, allows Legal Permanent Residents who are honorably discharged from the U.S. military with at least two years of service to be peace officers. - At least age 21 at time of testing. - High school diploma or GED and completion of 30 hours from an accredited school, college or university with a grade point average of 2.0 or better.

The eligibility list created as a result of this entrance examination will be effective for twelve (12) months from the date of the written examination unless exhausted sooner.

We could also include the note about reviewing Minimum Qualifications and Disqualifications at website, PHS submission, veteran points, DD214. Those could be under Qualifications or maybe a separate section like "Additional Requirements". But we only have allowed headings; we could put them under Qualifications as part of list. Now we must not repeat job title as heading.
