What could be DC Andy Walterson’s workplace? (3,8,4)

I believe the answer is:
new scotland yard
'workplace?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'what could be dc andy walterson's' is the wordplay.
'what could be' indicates an anagram.
'dc'+'andy'+'walterson'='dcandywalterson'
'dcandywalterson' with letters rearranged gives 'NEW SCOTLAND YARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for new scotland yard that I've seen before include "police HQ" , "A place for pigs!" .)
