Members of police one caught being taken in by bribes? (8)
I believe the answer is:
officers
'members of police' is the definition.
'one caught being taken in by bribes?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'being taken in by' indicates putting letters inside.
'bribes?' becomes 'offers' (a bribe is a kind of offer).
'i'+'c'='ic'
'ic' placed inside 'offers' is 'OFFICERS'.
(Other definitions for officers that I've seen before include "Commissioned members of the military" , "Persons with authority" , "Policemen" , "Bureaucrats" , "Those elected or appointed to positions of trust" .)
