PUBLIC NOTICE- DEA Criminal Investigators

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, duties, applicant availability, phases, location, Spanish language, basic agent training, requirements, qualifications. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. So we need to decide which sections to include: Likely "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (conditions of employment), "Qualifications" (qualification details), maybe "Skills" (Spanish language skill), maybe "Schedule"? Not present. "Benefits"? Not present. "Pay"? Not present. So we include sections with actual content: About the role (summary/intro), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (qualification details), Skills (Spanish language skill). Possibly also "Training" but not in list; we could put under About the role or Responsibilities? The instruction says use those headings only; we cannot create other headings. So we must map content to those headings. For content not fitting, we could embed within existing sections. For example, Basic Agent Training could go under Responsibilities or About the role. Spanish language skill could go under Skills. Location availability maybe under About the role. Applicant availability phases maybe under Requirements? Could be under Requirements as part of process. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll try to include all info within these sections. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have content. Thus output:

Skills

We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Ensure no mention of "Job ID". Also no mention of "Application instructions". We removed those. Check for any content like "Applicant Availability There are four (4) evaluation phases..." we included under Requirements. Check for "Spanish Language Skill Applicants who possess proficiency..." we included under Skills. Check for "Basic Agent Training" we included under Requirements. Check for "Special Agent Transition Program" not included; maybe we could add under Requirements or About the role? It's substantive: "Current or former 1811 applicants who have successfully completed a Federal Criminal Investigation training program through another federal law enforcement agency may qualify for a 3‑week Special Agent Transition Program (FLETC/CITP Transcripts must be attached)." We should include that. Could add under Requirements as another bullet. Add bullet: "Current or former 1811 applicants who have completed a Federal Criminal Investigation training program may qualify for a 3‑week Special Agent Transition Program (FLETC/CITP transcripts required)." Also "Current or former 1811 applicants who have successfully completed a Federal Criminal Investigation training program through another federal law enforcement agency, may be considered for an abbreviated hiring process." Already somewhat covered. We'll add that. Also "Applicant must be at least 21 years of age and not older than 36 at the time of application, unless you are a preference eligible veteran or a current, or previously served in a Federal civilian law enforcement retirement covered position." Already. Also "Selectee will be required to serve a 1-year or 2-year trial period, as appropriate, during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest." Already. Also "This position requires that the incumbent must possess and maintain a valid state driver's license." Already. Also "Incumbent is subject to random drug testing." Already. Also "Individuals are required to successfully complete a 16- week basic agent training (BAT) course held at the DEA Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia." Already. Also "Applicant Availability There are four (4) evaluation phases used to determine the applicants who are Best Qualified for the position. Applicants MUST be available to complete all phases of the Special Agent applicant process. Failure to successfully complete/pass any of the screening processes will result in the applicant being disqualified and removed from consideration." Already. Also "Phase 1: Physical Task Assessment (PTA) ..." We could include details of phases under Requirements maybe as sub-bullets. But we already have a bullet about phases; we could elaborate. However we must preserve all substantive info. The details of each phase are substantive. We should include them. Could add a sublist under Requirements for each phase. We can add a nested

inside the bullet? But we only allowed
• for any list. Could have multiple
  sections. We'll create a separate

  maybe "Selection Process"? Not allowed headings besides those listed. So we must fit within existing headings. Could put under Requirements as a

  with each phase as
  • containing details. Thus under Requirements we will have a
    with items: each phase description. Let's restructure Requirements: a
    with each bullet covering a requirement, and for the applicant availability we can have a nested list? Might be messy but acceptable. Simplify: We'll create a separate

    for "Selection Process"? Not allowed. So we will incorporate phase details into Requirements bullet list as separate items. Thus Requirements will have bullets: U.S. Citizenship, Top‑Secret clearance, mobility agreement, medical clearance, polygraph, Selective Service, age, E‑Verify, trial period, driver’s license, random drug testing, basic agent training, location prioritization, Spanish language skill? Actually Spanish language skill is Skills. Applicant availability phases: we can add bullets for each phase. Let's do:

    But we have nested
    inside
    • . That's okay; still using
      • . The instruction: "Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". Nested list is still a list. Now Skills section: Spanish language skill. We might also include "Skills" could also include other competencies like Teamwork, Problem Solving etc but those are part of selection process; we already covered. Now About the role: include summary about mission, location prioritization, Spanish language encouragement, maybe also mention that job announcement will be posted on USAJobs on July 20th and Oct
