This might be a double definition.

'really excellent' is the first definition.

'police officer' is the second definition.
(term for a senior police officer)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for super that I've seen before include "of high quality" , "Great; wonderful" , "Extremely good" , "Delightful" , "Marvellous, terrific" .)
