State Trooper initially in Dodge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avert

(Other definitions for avert that I've seen before include "Turn aside or ward off" , "Ward off (bad event)" , "Turn away (ones eyes)" , "Turn aside, perhaps gaze" , "Prevent from occurring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
