Crossword Genius

Great policeman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

super

This clue is a double definition.

'great' is the first definition.
(both can mean excellent)

'policeman' is the second definition.
(short for superintendant)

(Other definitions for super that I've seen before include "Delightful" , "Smashing, terrific" , "Spiffing!" , "Brilliant" , "Fantastic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
