Leicester cop ordered to create shadowy law enforcement group (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

secret police

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'create shadowy law enforcement group' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'leicester cop ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'leicester'+'cop'='leicestercop'
'leicestercop' is an anagram of 'SECRET POLICE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for secret police that I've seen before include "Anti-subversion force" , "Undercover lawmen" , "NKVD, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
