Emotive outcome of corruption at police HQ? (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supercharged

'emotive' is the definition.
(both can mean intense or powerful)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for supercharged that I've seen before include "More potent" , "Very quick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
