Small change for policeman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

copper

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'small change' is the first definition.
(low-value coinage)

'for policeman' is the second definition.
(copper is a kind of policeman)

(Other definitions for copper that I've seen before include "Little money" , "Metal, Cu" , "Reddish metal of a penny" , "Metal for slang policeman" , "Metallic element and British bobby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
