Walk like a policeman (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plod

This clue is a double definition.

'walk' is the first definition.
(I know that plod is a type of walk)

'policeman' is the second definition.
(UK informal term for a police officer)

'like a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plod that I've seen before include "Stomp" , "Shamus, say" , "Walk along heavily" , "Walk laboriously, trudge" , "Slow heavy walk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
