Police team bringing very cool desserts to part of school? (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

vice squad

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'police' is the definition.
(vice squad is a kind of police)

'team bringing very cool desserts to part of school?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'team' could be 'squad' (sports team) and 'squad' is present in the answer.
'very' could be 'v' (common abbreviation) and 'v' is located in the answer.
'cool' could be 'ice' (icing is a kind of cooling) and 'ice' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vice squad that I've seen before include "section of police force" , "Police unit enforcing gaming and prostitution laws" , "police department" , "They tackle corruption" .)
