They hold positions of trust (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

officers

(Other definitions for officers that I've seen before include "Commissioned ranks in the services" , "Persons with authority" , "Bureaucrats" , "Those elected or appointed to positions of trust" , "Policemen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
