Officer Bloom, Officer Anderson, and Captain Brown, but not Officer Ramirez

Explanation:

Corruption can be explained or described as the misuse of power or abuse of power for private gain. It can also be explained as the situation of being engaged in activity with the notion of making money or earning profits or benefits illegally.

In this case, Officer Bloom, Officer Anderson and Captain Brown are all involved in corrupt acts. This is because, they were all engaged in illegal acts that eventually gave them benefits in return. They engaged in the act based on what they will gain.

But, Officer Ramirez act was an act that did not benefit him, but benefit others. This shows his kindness to elderly parolee without collecting anything in returns.
