Disorderly like the place where the officers went for recreation, possibly? (5)
I believe the answer is:
messy
'disorderly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for messy that I've seen before include "Untidy, dirty" , "Dirty and disorderly" , "Disorganised" .)
