Port authority police, still unmoved (6)

I believe the answer is:

placid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unmoved' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'port authority police still' is the wordplay.
'port authority' becomes 'pla' (Port of London Authority).
'police still' becomes 'cid' (abbreviation for Criminal Investigation Department. I am not sure about the 'still' bit.).
'pla'+'cid'='PLACID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for placid that I've seen before include "without ruffles" , "Calm; equable" , "Collected" , "Calm and not easily upset" , "Calm; Lake" .)
