"He wanted to be a cop at one point"

Hi, is "at one point" an idiom? If so, what does it mean? I couldn't find it on the net

Thank you

Hi Here's the idea. at one point = at one point in time = at one time The phrase usually implies that something else happened later. eg At one point he wanted to be a cop, but instead he later became a doctor.
