To be clear I did say: under Standard Operating Procedure.
In no way, even amongst a group of primarily corrupt officers, is the S.O.P. is to simply kill criminals. Its messy, provides bad press, and in most cases isn't actually the best solution (for instance: why kill someone when you can extract bribes? [perhaps to make an example of them, but thats a whole different discussion]).
As Ildur just beat me to saying, what an individual does is different than what their organization, or the law dictates. And -no one- is above the law. Though their crimes may be passed over because the entire system is corrupt. But this doesn't mean that what they did isn't illegal, and doesn't go against S.O.P.

Side Note:
I have stakes on both sides of the line of being an honest law-enforcement agent and a corrupt one. Two of my characters are Brass Blades (one former and one present). My main had been removed from her post as a captain because she worked zealously against the Syndicate who have their hands in the law enforcement. While one of my alts was seated into the post after her because he is corrupt and malleable to the underworld's interests.
