Property and Evidence Officer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We have salary info: Salary $24.03 - $35.68 Hourly. So Pay section with that. Benefits: we have a long list of benefits. So Benefits section. Schedule: not given; we have Full-Time Regular, but schedule not specific hours. Should we include Schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated explicitly beyond Full-Time Regular; maybe we can infer schedule but not explicit. Safer to omit Schedule. About the role: we have description summary. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: we have essential functions list. Requirements: we have formal education, experience, certifications, etc. Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine. Skills: maybe technical skills etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education, experience, certifications, etc.), Benefits (list), Pay (salary). Possibly also Qualifications? Might be redundant. We'll include Requirements covering education, experience, certifications, etc. Skills maybe not needed separately.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from description, essential functions, requirements, benefits, pay. Must not drop any.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
. For headings use
.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, questions (the list of questions). Those are application instructions? The questions appear to be pre-screening questions; they are part of posting but likely considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The questions are likely part of the application process; we should drop them. Also remove opening/closing dates, job number, division, department, location? Location is substantive? It's location Goodyear, AZ. Should we keep location? It's not a heading; we can include in a short paragraph maybe under About the role. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location, job type, etc in a short paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for Property and Evidence Officer.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:

But note some items duplicated; we need to preserve all but not repeat identical sentences. The essential functions list had some repetition; we can combine but must preserve all substantive info. Might be okay to keep as is but avoid exact duplicates. Let's read essential functions paragraph:
"Receives items of evidence collected by police officers, checks inventories and logs of evidence to store all items in an orderly manner for quick retrieval, preserving the chain of custody and evidentiary integrity. Maintains the integrity of evidence by documenting the chain of evidence properly and storing and preserving evidence by department and court standards, testifies in court as necessary regarding the chain of evidence and integrity of property storage/retrieval.Prepares paperwork and transports property to other agencies and crime labs by responsibly driving city vehicles; lifting and loading property to maintain integrity and prevent damage; and being familiar with outlying facilities and analysis labs.Processes firearms entering and leaving the evidence room with appropriate agencies, including but not limited to Alcohol Tabaco and Firearms (ATF), and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)Prepares distribution of property by obtaining proper disposition through the courts or city policy, determining if property can be sold at auction or needs to be destroyed, and releases and transports property to appropriate destruction sites or approved auction locations.

Answers/responds to citizen inquiries and complaints over the telephone and in person regarding the release and/or disposition of property.Testify in court as necessary"
We can break into logical items as above, ensuring we cover each distinct duty.
Now Requirements:
We have Formal Education/Knowledge, Experience, Certifications and Other Requirements, Reading, Math, Writing, Managerial, Policy/Decision Making, Technical Skills, Interpersonal/Human Relations Skills.
We should capture all.
Let's create a Requirements
with a listing each requirement.
But we must not create thin sections; but this is substantive.
We'll list:
- Formal Education/Knowledge: Work requires knowledge of a specific vocational, administrative, or technical nature that may be obtained with six-months/one year of advanced study or training past the high school equivalency. Community college, vocational, business, and technical or correspondence schools are likely sources. Appropriate certification may be awarded upon satisfactory completion of advanced study or training.
- Experience: Minimum 2 years’ experience in the property and evidence field.
- Certifications and Other Requirements: Valid Driver’s License, International Association of Property and Evidence certificate within 12 months of hire.

- Math: Ability to perform general math calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Writing: Ability to write reports, proposals, worksheets, and letters.
- Managerial: Semi-complex – occasional direction of helpers, assistants, seasonal employees, interns, or temporary employees.
- Policy/Decision Making: Moderate – normally performs job by following established standard operating procedures and/or policies; choice of appropriate procedure or policy to apply to duties; more complex work and decisions with significant impacts may be reviewed prior to finalization.
- Technical Skills: Comprehensive Application – use of standard technical skills appropriate to the work environment; limited analysis and independent thinking utilized.
- Interpersonal/Human Relations Skills: Moderate – interactions may involve support of controversial positions or negotiation of sensitive issues or important presentations; contacts may involve stressful, negative interactions requiring high levels of tact and ability to respond to aggressive interpersonal interactions.
We could also include the 12 Month Objectives? Those are performance expectations; could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section like Expectations. But we have no heading for that; we could include under Requirements as additional bullet.
But we must not create thin sections; adding a subsection for objectives may be okay as part of Requirements.
We'll add bullet: 12 Month Objectives: (list). But that may be long; we can include as a inside? Might be too nested. Better to keep as a summarizing? But we must preserve all substantive info; we cannot summarize away detail. The objectives are detailed; we need to include them. Could create a separate section
Performance Objectives
but we only allowed headings from list; but we could still use for any section heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we can use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. Safer to stick to those. So we can incorporate objectives under Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? They are objectives, not responsibilities. Could put under Requirements as additional bullet points.
We'll add a bullet: 12 Month Objectives: then a nested list? Might break HTML semantics but okay. We'll just include as a
with the details; but that would be summarizing? Actually we would be copying the text, not summarizing. That's okay.
We'll include as a
under Requirements after the list? But we need to preserve all detail; we can add a
with the objectives text.
Let's extract objectives text:
