Officer wrong to confiscate equipment? That is right (9)
I believe the answer is:
brigadier
'officer' is the definition.
(I know that brigadier is a type of officer)
'wrong to confiscate equipment? that is right' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'bad' ().
'to confiscate' is an insertion indicator.
'equipment?' becomes 'rig' (rig is a kind of equipment).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'bad' going around 'rig' is 'brigad'.
'brigad'+'ie'+'r'='BRIGADIER'
(Other definitions for brigadier that I've seen before include "Military leader" , "High-ranking army officer" , "Air bridge over to the military officer" , "Army rank" , "Rank above colonel" .)
