All candidates are required to complete the questions at the end of the application. The supplemental application questions will be used to select the most highly qualified candidates who will then advance to the next step in the selection process. The questions that follow will be used to evaluate the extent to which a candidate has demonstrated and applied the knowledge, skills and abilities critical to successful performance for this position. You must respond to all required questions to be considered for this position. Then list of questions (01-10). Those are application instructions; we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the supplemental application questions and the instruction to complete them. Also remove EEO etc. There's a line "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Bargaining Unit 12" - remove. Thus we need to keep substantive info: About the role (maybe introduction), Responsibilities (Typical Duties), Requirements (Peace Officer Status Requirements?), Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications, Desirable Employment Standards), Skills (maybe part of qualifications), Benefits (detailed benefits), Pay? Not specified; no pay info. Schedule? Not specified. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph about recruitment, list life, location). Responsibilities (Typical Duties). Requirements (Peace Officer Status Requirements). Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Desirable Employment Standards could be under Skills or Qualifications; maybe combine as Skills. Benefits section. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with content. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like exact phrasing. We need to be careful not to include duplicated lines. There's duplicate "The anticipated life of the list is six months." We'll keep one. We need to remove boilerplate like "The Provisions Of This Bulletin Do Not Constitute An Expressed Or Implied Contract And Are Subject To Change." appears multiple times; we should keep only once? It's boilerplate but maybe considered legal; but instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is a disclaimer; likely considered legal boilerplate. Should remove. Also "The information listed is a general summary of benefits. These provisions do not constitute an expressed or implied contract and are subject to change." That's also legal boilerplate; remove. Also "The Provisions Of This Bulletin Do Not Constitute An Expressed Or Implied Contract And Are Subject To Change." remove. We need to keep benefit details though. We also need to keep the link for benefits? It's a URL; maybe keep as part of benefits prose. We need to keep the College Cost Reduction Access Act info. We need to keep the "Conditions Of Employment" details (drug screening, background investigation, E-Verify, physical exam). That's substantive. We need to keep the "Peace Officer Status Requirements" line. We need to keep the "Minimum Qualifications" details. We need to keep the "Desirable Employment Standards" details. We need to keep the "Typical Duties" list. We need to keep the intro about recruitment. Now produce HTML. Structure:
