Kickback

Explanation:

Receiving or giving of kickback is a form of bribery that involves the demand or giving of commissions to an employee or public official such as a police officer for a service rendered. This practice is unethical and wrong as it interferes with the police officers ability to make unbiased judgement.

The action of officer Andrew in accepting the kickback is wrong and can be classified as bribery.
