Peril not unusual for crime fighters (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interpol

'crime fighters' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'peril not unusual' is the wordplay.
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'peril'+'not'='perilnot'
'perilnot' is an anagram of 'INTERPOL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for interpol that I've seen before include "Joined forces" , "International law enforcement agency" , "investigators" , "Multinational crime fighters" , "International co-ordinating police body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
