Police Systems Administrator
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
- Applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. CT on the day before the listed closing date. (This is application instruction, should be removed per instruction: remove application instructions.)
- Weekly Work Hours 40 (this is schedule info). So we have schedule: 40 hours per week.
- Compensation Range Safety Range D05 Salary Salary Minimum $81,674.00 Annually FLSA United States of America (Exempt) (this is pay info). So we have pay: Salary Minimum $81,674.00 annually, Exempt.
- Work Location All positions are considered on-site roles. After six months of employment, some positions may be eligible to apply for a hybrid work arrangement based on job responsibilities, operational needs, supervisor approval, and Dallas College policy. Academic (Faculty) positions require an on-campus presence, even when teaching online courses, in accordance with state law. (Work location info.)
- Position Type Staff
- Position Summary: Responsible for technical work with computers requiring knowledge of data communications equipment, wiring and cable configurations, and the installation, operation and maintenance of computer, video and audio media systems.
- Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: long list.
- Physical Requirements: description.
- Minimum Qualifications: Associate degree or technical training certificate preferred. Three (3) years of experience in the field of mobile technology management, application integration, security camera and access control, technology customer service or related areas. Official transcripts will be required. Bilingual or multilingual preferred. *** Will be subject to a criminal background check. Some positions may be subject to a fingerprint check. ***
- Key Responsibilities: list.
- About Us: description.
- Applications Deadline October 11, 2026 (application instruction, remove).
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe Position Summary?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities?), Skills (maybe part of Required Knowledge...), Benefits (none given), Pay (we have salary), Schedule (weekly work hours 40). Also maybe Work Location could be part of About the role? But we have no heading for Work Location; we could include under About the role or maybe as its own section? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
- About the role: could include Position Summary and maybe Work Location? The posting includes Position Summary and Work Location details. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or maybe "Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" is more like Requirements. But we also have Qualifications heading. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to decide which to use. Typically Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications or skills. But we have both Minimum Qualifications and Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, and Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities under Qualifications (or Skills). However we also have Skills heading separate. Could split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications; Qualifications = Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (maybe includes skills). Skills heading maybe redundant; we could omit if content overlaps.
We need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content volume.
Minimum Qualifications: Associate degree or technical training certificate preferred. Three (3) years of experience in the field of mobile technology management, application integration, security camera and access control, technology customer service or related areas. Official transcripts will be required. Bilingual or multilingual preferred. *** Will be subject to a criminal background check. Some positions may be subject to a fingerprint check. ***
That's decent.
Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: long list of many bullet-like sentences. Could be considered Skills.
We could make:
- About the role: Position Summary + Work Location.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (maybe rename as Skills? but we have Skills heading). Could put Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities under Skills heading, and Qualifications maybe empty? Better to follow the given headings: we can use Skills for the list of knowledge/skills, and Qualifications for Minimum Qualifications? Actually Qualifications often refers to education/experience; Skills refers to abilities. But we have both headings available. Let's assign:
- Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience).
- Skills: Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities.
- About the role: Position Summary + Work Location.
- Pay: Salary Minimum $81,674.00 annually, Exempt.
- Schedule: Weekly Work Hours 40.
- Benefits: none -> omit.
We must not create sections with filler. So we include only those with real content.
Now we need to format: Use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what is a list. For Responsibilities, we have a paragraph with many sentences separated by semicolons. Could treat as list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the responsibilities into list items. Similarly for Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (skills) we should list each item. For Minimum Qualifications (qualifications) we could list each requirement.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to break down the paragraphs into discrete items but keep the info.
Let's extract each piece.
First, About the role:
- Position Summary: "Responsible for technical work with computers requiring knowledge of data communications equipment, wiring and cable configurations, and the installation, operation and maintenance of computer, video and audio media systems."
- Work Location: "All positions are considered on-site roles. After six months of employment, some positions may be eligible to apply for a hybrid work arrangement based on job responsibilities, operational needs, supervisor approval, and Dallas College policy. Academic (Faculty) positions require an on-campus presence, even when teaching online courses, in accordance with state law."
We can combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Use
for prose.

Incumbents may be directed to perform job-related tasks other than those specifically presented in this description.
Position requires regular and predictable attendance."
We need to turn each sentence (or clause separated by period) into list items. However some sentences contain multiple clauses separated by semicolons; but we can keep as one item.
We should preserve all info, not summarizing. So each bullet will be a full sentence.
We'll create
- for each distinct responsibility.
Third, Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications): text:
"Associate degree or technical training certificate preferred.

We need to keep the asterisks? They are likely formatting; we can keep the sentences but maybe remove the *** markers as they are not substantive? They are just markers. Probably we can keep the sentences without the asterisks. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The asterisks are not substantive; we can drop them. We'll keep the sentences.
We'll make list items.

Fifth, Pay: "Compensation Range Safety Range D05 Salary Salary Minimum $81,674.00 Annually FLSA United States of America (Exempt)". We need to extract substantive: Salary Minimum $81,674.00 annually, Exempt (FLSA). Also maybe mention
