I can't speak for other first world countries, but Canada has its share of police misconduct. The most recent example is the mishandling of the 22-person killing spree in Nova Scotia[1], and the Toronto police are so famously bad at investigating sex crimes and protecting victims that an entire book was written on the subject[2].

incompetence =/= corruption.
Corruption allows incompetence to thrive. Deliberate inaction can also be whitewashed as "incompetence".
