We need to be careful not to include filler like "lobs" maybe typo for lbs. Keep as is.
Preferred Qualifications:
PREFERRED AGENCY REQUIREMENTS:
- A high school diploma and 18 months experience performing patrol or investigative duties with a public law enforcement agency.
- SCCJA Certified class 1 Law Enforcement Officer.
- Must be a SCCJA Certified class 1 Law Enforcement Officer. (duplicate; we can keep one.)
We can combine.
Benefits:
The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice offers an exceptional benefits package for FTE positions that includes:
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program

- 15 days annual (vacation) leave per year

Other info about applications etc is boilerplate? The instructions about incomplete applications, background investigation, medical exam, drug testing, etc. Those are not benefits but maybe considered part of requirements? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The paragraphs about applications incomplete, background investigation, medical exam, drug testing, etc. Are those considered application instructions? Likely yes, they are instructions for applicants. So we should remove them. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should exclude those paragraphs.
Thus we keep only mission, job purpose, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits.
Skills: we could extract skill statements from requirements. But we already have many ability statements in Requirements. Could create a Skills section listing abilities: ability to evaluate situations, deal firmly/tactfully, interview, comprehend/write, operate vehicles/weapons, etc. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can list them as skills.
But we already have them in Requirements; maybe better to keep Requirements as is and not duplicate. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have headings list; we can include Requirements and Qualifications separate if they have content. Skills maybe not needed if we already covered abilities in Requirements. However the instruction says use headings for those sections only if posting has real specific content. It does have specific skill statements; we could put them under Skills. But then Requirements would be just minimum requirements (education, certification). That might be okay.
Let's split:
- Requirements: State Minimum Requirements (education, experience, certification).
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (experience, certification).
- Skills: list of abilities/knowledge/skills from Additional Requirements.
But we must ensure we don't lose any content. Let's extract skills from Additional Requirements:
- Knowledge of state rules and regulations for the protection and security of persons and property of all DJJ facilities.
- Knowledge of proper law enforcement officer behavior; modern law enforcement techniques and procedures; how to collect and preserve evidence, the legal rights of both suspects and law enforcement; the laws one is responsible for enforcing; and the functions and interrelationships of other law enforcement agencies.
- Skilled in the operation of law enforcement vehicles, weapons, and communications equipment.
- Ability to correctly evaluate situations and make good decisions.
- Ability to deal firmly and tactfully with the general public.
- Ability to effectively interview witnesses and suspects.
- Ability to comprehend written materials; and write effectively.
- Under limited supervision, perform given search assignments statewide.
- Will report all training and searches to the Administrator of Public Safety.
- As a Public Safety Officer, assists in ensuring the safety and security of the agency's youth, staff, and visitors.
- Annual scheduled performance reviews will be completed.
- On call for emergencies 24 hours per day.
- Essential Position Must be able to work with aggressive delinquent youth daily in accordance with SCDJJ Policies and Procedures.
- Must be able to lift 50+ lobs, sit 1-3 hours per day, stand 1-3 hours per day, walk 1-3 hours per day and ability to work varied hours to meet organizational needs.
- Deal with confidential and sensitive information.
- Prioritize multiple priorities during high stress situations.
- Travels overnight occasionally.
- This position performs job duties relating to the custody, control, transportation, or recapture of youth within the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice and the employee may have direct and indirect contact with youth within the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
- Training applicable to these duties will be provided.
Some of these are more like requirements than skills. But we can still put them under Skills.
But we risk duplication with Requirements. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can duplicate? It didn't forbid duplication but said remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating identical lines. If we split content, we need to ensure we don't duplicate same sentence across sections. We'll partition.
