Joseph Stalin's "secret police" were GPU; OGPU; GUGB; NKGB and the MGB.
The following were NOT Stalin's "secret police."
The Cheka was started by Lenin and became the GPU before Stalin took over.
The NKVD is often referred to as a "secret police" force, but it wasn't just that. It was an internal security force that included regular uniformed police and firefighters. The "secret police" were agencies within the NKVD. Thus, the NKVD was not truly a "secret police" force. The "secret police", the GPU and later the OGPU were agencies within the NKVD. In addition, most of the NKVD operatives were uniformed.
The KGB was created after Stalin died.
In many ways these "secret police" agencies were not "secret police" in the sense that they sought perpetrators of crimes. They were more accurately the "political police" rooting out people who were considered counter-revolutionaries, criticized the state or were otherwise not loyal to it.
