Forces or police trainee (5)

I believe the answer is:

cadet

(Other definitions for cadet that I've seen before include "aspiring officer" , "Young trainee, eg in the police" , "Police force trainee" , "Younger member of family" , "Police or armed forces trainee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
