rapid

'quick' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'raid in which coppers take part' is the wordplay.
'in which' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'coppers take part' becomes 'p' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'raid' placed around 'p' is 'RAPID'.

Can you help me to learn more?
