'policeman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'redirected persons to crime' is the wordplay.
'redirected' indicates an anagram.
'persons'+'to'+'crime'='personstocrime'
'personstocrime' is an anagram of 'INSPECTOR MORSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
