Force misrepresented policeman, Ian, falsely nicked (6)
I believe the answer is:
compel
'force' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'misrepresented policeman ian falsely nicked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'policeman' could be 'mp' (abbreviation for Military Policeman) and 'mp' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for compel that I've seen before include "'Force, oblige (6)'" , "drive on" , "Use force or influence to make person do something" , "Make someone do something" , "Coerce, force to obey" .)
