And police use the shotguns with slugs, nothing else. It is an accuracy thing nothing else.

I think police carry shot guns with slugs because the heavy slug drops quickly and won't be a threat after a hundred yards or so. This is ideal in an urban environment. You don't want to accidently kill someone 4 blocks away.

Conservation Officers use rifles for animal control and pistols for mainly human threats.
