'police officer wearing fancy clothes lacking restraint' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'police officer wearing fancy clothes' is the wordplay.
'police officer' becomes 'di' (detective inspector).
'wearing' becomes 'in' (wear in (and 'in' is fashionable)).
'fancy' becomes 'ornate' (I've seen this before**).
'clothes' is an insertion indicator.
'in'+'ornate'='inornate'
'di' put within 'inornate' is 'INORDINATE'.
