Joined the police (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)

'police' is the second definition.
(London Metropolitan Police)

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for met that I've seen before include "Encountered by chance or arrangement" , "Encountered, came across" , "Came together, encountered" , "Got together" , "Encountered, came into contact" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
