The correct answer is

pay a fee to get promoted.

Basically, you would pay a fee that would sometime even be legal and you would get a promotion in return. Sometimes it was heavy corruption, sometimes it was legal and explained as various fraudulent police training regimes or anything similar. You pay and you get a promotion.
