Band hunting bandits (5)

I believe the answer is:

posse

(Other definitions for posse that I've seen before include "Troop at the service of a local sheriff" , "Group of sheriff's men" , "legal team" , "Band supporting sheriff" , "Group supporting sheriff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
