That man from old police force capturing ring is deserving of a medal (6)
I believe the answer is:
heroic
'deserving of a medal' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'that man from old police force capturing ring' is the wordplay.
'that man' becomes 'he'.
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'old police force' becomes 'ric' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'ring' becomes 'o'.
'ric' enclosing 'o' is 'roic'.
'he'+'roic'='HEROIC'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heroic that I've seen before include "Valiant, courageous" , "Imposing or impressive: very courageous" , "Surpassing the ordinary, in courage say" , "Dramatic" , "Epic" .)
