Postage for secret police (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gestapo

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

'secret police' is the definition.
(Nazi secret police)

'postage' is the wordplay.
'postage' can be anagrammed to 'GESTAPO'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gestapo that I've seen before include "Brutal force" , "Police detested" , "Hitler's secret police" , "State police in Nazi Germany" , "war force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
