Ironically the police* in Italy isn't usually corrupt, as far as I know, although politicians sure make up for it

(* police duties are regularly fulfilled by a branch of the military, but unlike the militarized police force of the US, they aren't known for shooting dogs on sight (or acorns) (or donkeys))

    There are 2 police corps: the regular one(under the direct authority of the govt through the Ministry of Interior) and the fancy one(Carabinieri, under the wing of the military). One is supposed to keep the other in check afaik.
