polizeiliches

Polizeiliches is a German adjective form meaning police-related or of the police. It is used to describe actions, procedures, measures, or attributes connected with the police or policing in general. The base noun is Polizei, and the adjective is commonly attached to a following noun to form phrases such as polizeiliche Maßnahmen or polizeiliches Vorgehen.

Grammatically, polizeiliches is the neuter singular form of the attributive adjective when it accompanies a neuter noun without a definite article, or in other strong-inflection contexts. In everyday usage, the same root adjective appears in other endings to agree with gender, number, and case, for example polizeiliche Maßnahmen (feminine plural) or polizeiliches Ermittlungsverfahren (neuter singular). The word is frequent in legal, administrative, and news-language where police-related concepts are discussed.

Common usages include:

- polizeiliche Maßnahmen, meaning police measures or actions taken by authorities.

- polizeiliches Vorgehen, meaning police procedures or methods.

- polizeiliches Ermittlungsverfahren, meaning police investigative procedures.

- polizeiliches Dienstrecht, referring to police service laws or regulations.

In contrast, polizeilich can function as an adverb or as a plain adjective in other contexts, but polizeiliches specifically appears as the neuter singular attributive form in front of a noun, particularly in contexts describing police-related matters without a definite determiner.
