Former secret police in East Germany (5)

I believe the answer is:

stasi

(Other definitions for stasi that I've seen before include "Former German security service" , "Force that spied" , "old secret service" , "Secret police of the former German Democratic Republic" , "Former security force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
