The Remington Model 870 Police is the law enforcement configuration of the 870, featuring an 18-inch barrel, extended magazine tube, and often an extended-capacity magazine. It has been the standard patrol shotgun for more US law enforcement agencies than any other single weapon platform — carried by officers from New York City to rural sheriffs' departments. The Police model's reputation for absolute reliability in law enforcement use is unmatched in the pump shotgun category.
