I've just been doing my last bit of research of current ops around my area and completing my vetting forms, getting nervous now, the only bit I'm worried about are the questions they may ask on equality and diversity.

Got my suit ready, shoes shiny, clean shaven or neat&tidy 'designer' stubble (bearing in mind I haven't shaved for over a year, I have no need in my current job so therefore use stubble trimmer)

Any other last bits of advice welcome!

good luck, and try not to show your nerves ( I know thats probably harder than it sounds )

Don't worry. The interview goes faster than expected. Make sure you have some scenarios prepared which you can talk about, especially on respect for race and diversity as this is the one you have to do well on. You will be nervous whilst waiting but once you get in there the nerves will go after a little bit. Thats how it was for me anyway. Though they did sort of come back after I found out I had been talking to a Detective Inspector It all pays off in the end though.

Interview was quite intense, pretty much all of them were what I was expecting, a few questions were carefully worded so you had to think about the answer first, but i managed ok!
