Questions & Answers about Hinsichtlich der Police werden wir den Anspruch prüfen.
Is Police a false friend? It looks like "police".
Yes, it is! In German, die Police specifically refers to an insurance policy. If you want to talk about law enforcement (the police), you need to use die Polizei.
Why is it der Police instead of die Police?
The preposition hinsichtlich (with regard to) requires the genitive case. Since Police is a feminine noun (die Police), its article changes to der in the genitive.
Could I use bezüglich instead of hinsichtlich in this sentence?
Absolutely. You could say Bezüglich der Police... and the meaning would be exactly the same. Both are formal prepositions that take the genitive case and are used interchangeably in business or legal contexts to mean "regarding" or "concerning".
Why is werden in the second position before the subject wir?
The entire phrase Hinsichtlich der Police counts as the first position in the sentence. German strictly follows the verb-second rule, so the conjugated verb werden must come next, pushing the subject wir into the third position.
