Joined the force (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

met

This clue is a double definition.

'joined' is the first definition.
(meeting is a kind of joining)

'the force' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

(Other definitions for met that I've seen before include "Got together" , "Encountered by chance or arrangement" , "Encountered pro tem" , "Came across - police in London" , "Encountered, came across" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
