Delivered small eulogy after senior cop died (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distributed

'delivered' is the definition.

'small eulogy after senior cop died' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'eulogy' becomes 'tribute'.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'senior cop' becomes 'di' (detective inspector).
'died' becomes 'd'.
's'+'tribute'='stribute'
'stribute' put after 'di' is 'distribute'.
'distribute'+'d'='DISTRIBUTED'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
