Canadian police unit — some corrupt (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mounties

'canadian police' is the definition.
(nickname for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police)

'unit some corrupt' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' indicates an anagram.
'unit'+'some'='unitsome'
'unitsome' is an anagram of 'MOUNTIES'.

(Other definitions for mounties that I've seen before include "Canadian federal police" , "Police force of Canada" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
