Info supplied by senior officer, briefly (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gen

I believe this is a double definition.

'info' is the first definition.
(gen is a kind of info)

'senior officer briefly' is the second definition.
(abbreviation for general)

'supplied by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gen that I've seen before include "Knowledge" , "Information (colloq.)" , "Lowdown (sl.)" , "Information yielded" , "'Information, colloquially (3)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
