Person holding a position of authority (7)

I believe the answer is:

officer

(Other definitions for officer that I've seen before include "Serviceman (or woman) of rank" , "Possibly a major" , "Person in position of authority" , "Holder of a post" , "Person holding a commission in the services" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
