Management$28.61–$46.5/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a Summary paragraph, Major Duties And Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Licensing/Certifications, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, ADA And Other Requirements, Conditions of Employment, Benefits. Also Salary line: "$28.61 - $46.5 Commensurate with Experience". The instruction: do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits is present: "Benefits The City of Charlotte provides a comprehensive benefits package to all employees. Click here to learn more..." So we can include Benefits section. Pay: they gave salary range but also "Commensurate with Experience". The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state a salary range: "$28.61 - $46.5". It also says "Commensurate with Experience". That phrase is filler? It says "Commensurate with Experience". That is a placeholder? It's not a specific number but they gave a range. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. If we create a Pay section, we must not have filler text like "commensurate with experience". We could include the salary range as a paragraph, not as a heading? The rule says: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have a Pay section with the salary range. However the salary line includes "Commensurate with Experience" which is filler. We could perhaps just include the range and ignore the filler text? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The phrase "Commensurate with Experience" is part of the salary line; it's substantive? It's a qualifier. It might be considered filler but it's actually part of the posting. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). That suggests we should not create a Pay section if the only content is filler like that. But we have actual numbers. So we could include the range and also note "Commensurate with Experience" as part of the text. That is not purely filler; it's additional info. So we can include Pay section with a paragraph containing "$28.61 - $46.5 per hour? Actually not specified per hour or annual. We'll just output as given.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Police Trainee. Not to be used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out EEO statements, application instructions like "How To Apply", "Apply online.", etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: summary, duties, qualifications, licensing/certifications, knowledge/skills/abilities, ADA/other requirements, conditions of employment, benefits.

We need to use for section headings. Which headings to use? We can map:
- About the role (maybe Summary)
- Responsibilities (Major Duties And Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)
- Qualifications (maybe Licensing/Certifications? Or combine)
- Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities)
- Benefits
- Pay (salary)
- Schedule? Not present, so omit.
We need to avoid thin sections. Could combine some.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's decide sections:
About the role
About the role
Summary paragraph.
Responsibilities
- each duty
Requirements
- minimum qualifications
Qualifications
- licensing/certifications
Skills
- knowledge, skills, abilities
ADA and Other Requirements
ADA And Other Requirements paragraph.
Conditions of Employment
Conditions of Employment paragraph.
Benefits
Benefits paragraph.
Pay
Salary line.
We must ensure we don't include filler like "Commensurate with Experience" as a heading; it's inside Pay paragraph. We need to strip out duplicated lines: The posting repeats "For questions about your application or the hiring process, please email CMPD_Recruitment@cmpd.org" and later "For questions about your application or the hiring process, please email Careers@ci.charlotte.nc.us". Those are application instructions; we should remove them. Also remove "How To Apply Apply online." etc. Also remove EEO statements: "The City of Charlotte is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also remove accommodation statements etc. Also remove "The City of Charlotte provides a comprehensive benefits package to all employees. Click here to learn more about the City of Charlotte’s benefits." That's benefits; we keep but maybe remove "Click here to learn more..." as it's a link; but it's part of benefits description. We can keep the sentence but maybe remove the click here link? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The "Click here to learn more..." is a link; it's substantive? It's a reference; we could keep as plain text: "Click here to learn more about the City of Charlotte’s benefits." That's okay. We also need to remove duplicated lines like the summary maybe repeated? Not. Now let's extract substantive content.
