Police Officer I
for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into lists vs prose. Responsibilities are a list of duties; we can make
- . Requirements/Qualifications could be list. Skills maybe list. Pay and Schedule could be prose or list? Probably just
.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to include About the role section: job summary paragraph.
Let's extract job summary text:

Utilizes proper skills to ensure the safety and security of people, property, and equipment throughout the University community.

More at publicsafety.utah.edu."
We'll put that in
under
About the role
.
Responsibilities: list each bullet.
Let's extract responsibilities lines:
- Responds to emergency and non-emergency calls, i.e., thefts, accidents, assaults. Gives assistance, assesses, and remedies the situation as appropriate; files a written report.
- Conducts or assists in criminal, narcotics, traffic, and gang related investigations by applying specialized skills, gathering evidence, and protecting the crime scene.

- Officers must safely effect forcible arrest(s), pursue suspects on foot, safely control combatant(s), respond to emergencies, accept rotating shift and 24 hour on-call shifts, protecting and ensuring the safety of University students, staff, faculty and visitors while working extended hours in demanding and stressful environments.
- Therefore, Officers must annually pass a physical fitness assessment as a condition of employment.
We'll put each as - .
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills sections.
We have Minimum Qualifications list:
- United States citizen; United States national; or Lawful permanent resident of the United States who: Has been in the United States legally for the five years immediately before the day on which the application is made; and Has legal authorization to work in the United States
- Certification as a Utah Post LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) or willing to attend Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training Course (POST)
- A valid Utah Driver's License to be obtained upon date of hire.
- Considerable human relation and communication skills
- Qualified applicants must successfully complete the department approved physical fitness test, a thorough background investigation, and must be willing to submit to a drug screening test
- Bachelor's degree in Criminology, Police Science, or a related area, or equivalency (one year of education can be substituted for two years of related work experience) is preferred.
Then Disqualifiers list (many). Then Preferences: "POST certification at the time of application." Also Special Instructions includes Requisition Number etc which we drop.
We need to decide sections: Could have Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred), Skills (human relation and communication skills). But we must not create thin sections; better to combine into one Requirements section that includes all mandatory and preferred qualifications, plus skills. However the instruction says use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can include multiple if they have substantive content. We'll have:
- Requirements (minimum qualifications)
- Qualifications (preferred education/experience)
- Skills (human relation and communication skills)
But we must ensure not to create sections with filler. All have content.
We also have Disqualifiers; maybe could be part of Requirements? Could be its own section "Disqualifiers". But not in allowed headings list; only those given. So we could fold disqualifiers into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably better to include under Requirements as a subsection? But we cannot add extra headings. We could put disqualifiers as a list within Requirements section. That's okay.
Similarly Preferences could be under Qualifications.
Thus we will have:
Requirements
with - for each mandatory requirement (citizenship, POST cert, driver license, physical fitness test, background investigation, drug screening). Also include disqualifiers as list items? Might be long but okay.
Qualifications
with - for preferred Bachelor's degree, equivalency, POST certification at time of application.
Skills
with - for considerable human relation and communication skills.

We must not include any boilerplate like copyright, application instructions, etc.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's check.
From job summary we captured all.
Responsibilities captured all.
Minimum qualifications captured: citizenship, POST cert or willing to attend, driver's license, considerable human relation and communication skills, physical fitness test, background investigation, drug screening, bachelor's degree preferred (but we put that under Qualifications). Actually the bachelor's degree is listed under Minimum Qualifications as "Preferred". We'll treat as Qualifications.
Disqualifiers: we need to include them somewhere. We'll put them under Requirements as a list after the mandatory items, maybe as a sublist? But we can just add them as list items under Requirements. That will preserve all.
Preferences: POST certification at time of application - we put under Qualifications.
Also there is "Utah POST standards: link" and "Utah POST waiver test: link". Those are references; we should preserve them as part of Requirements maybe. They are URLs. We'll include as list items.
Also "Special Instructions Requisition Number: PRN46293B Full Time or Part Time? Full Time Work Schedule Summary: Rotating: 27/7 rotating shifts, holidays and weekends Department: 00471 - Public Safety Location: Campus Pay Rate Range: $34.07 - $38.33 Close Date: 12/23/2026 Open Until Filled To apply, visit ..." We already captured Pay and Schedule. We should also capture Department, Location, Close Date, Open Until Filled? Those are substantive but not under allowed headings. Could we put them under About the role? Maybe add a paragraph after summary with those details. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include Department, Location, Close Date, Open Until Filled. Where to put? Could add a under About the role after the summary, or maybe a separate section like "Details" but not allowed headings. We could add a
under About the role containing that info. That's acceptable.
Also "Full Time or Part Time? Full Time" we can include.
Thus About the role paragraph will be long but okay.
We must not include application instructions (the link). So we drop the "To apply, visit ..." link.
Also drop copyright and posted by.
Now let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then a containing the job summary plus additional details: Department, Location, Full Time/Part Time, Close Date, Open Until Filled.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate info.
Let's compose About the role paragraph:
"Performs a wide variety of law enforcement functions, including but not limited to: patrol, security, investigations, criminal gang activity, crime prevention, surveillance, and other law enforcement related duties. Utilizes proper skills to ensure the safety and security of people, property, and equipment throughout the University community.
