Raccoon Police Station
The Raccoon Police Station is a fictional police station that appears in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror franchise. The headquarters of the Raccoon Police Department (RPD), it is situated in the heart of Raccoon City. It serves as one of the primary settings for Resident Evil 2 and its remake, where it becomes overrun by deadly zombies and the living bioweapon Mr. X. It hides an entrance to the secret research facility of the evil Umbrella Corporation pharmaceutical company. It also appears in numerous subsequent games, including Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and its remake, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. The station was destroyed along the rest of the city by a missile strike sent by the U.S. government to clear the zombie outbreak during the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and its remake.
As a level, it has been praised by critics and fans for its unusual, artistic appearance, elaborate puzzles interwoven with the architecture, and intricate hub-based level design. The game's depiction of a highly-prepared police force falling victim to a zombie outbreak themselves plays a role in the implicit irony of the setting. Its redesign in the series' remakes was also praised for making the setting more detailed and atmospheric.
Formerly Raccoon City's prestigious art museum, the building was purchased in 1969 (prior to Resident Evil 2 remake, the late 80's) by the local government and converted for use by the RPD due to its ample parking space and centralized location near Raccoon City's central business district.
Although the artworks within the building were removed and relocated, it was once again decorated by Raccoon City's Chief of Police, Brian Irons, a known art and sculpture enthusiast. Irons' proclivity to constantly purchase ever more grandiose pieces leads to many of the building's storage rooms being filled with neglected artworks he no longer appreciates. The building contains two entrances to the city's sewer system; one through the kennels, and one through a secret room connected to Chief Irons' office. The latter was designed and installed by the Umbrella Corporation to better facilitate Irons' duties within their clandestine research operations, as these sewer entrances allowed access to their secret underground laboratories. In the remake, however, the underground lab is accessed through a secret tunnel and office hidden by a large moving statue in the main hall of the RPD, which in the original game would only give you a key to some of the rooms in the station.
During the September 1998 Raccoon City T-Virus outbreak, many of the series' central characters seek refuge within the precinct, including Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. One day before them, S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team operatives Brad Vickers and Jill Valentine holed up in the precinct while being pursued by one of Umbrella's deadly Bio-Organic Weapons, Nemesis, with Vickers being brutally killed by the creature at the precinct entrance (except in the Resident Evil 3 remake, where he's bitten and infected by a zombie before stumbling to the police department to bite and mortally wound officer Marvin Branagh).
The station is temporarily used as a rallying point and temporary shelter for surviving citizens during the incident, including the survivors of Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2. The "Desperate Times" scenario details the escape of a handful of officers and survivors the day before the arrival of Jill Valentine and Brad Vickers.
Eventually the building suffers the same fate as the rest of Raccoon City, when it is annihilated by the United States government to prevent the spread of the T-Virus.
In 2021 the Raccoon Police Station was added to the survival horror game Dead by Daylight as one of its playable maps. It's split into two variants; the east wing and west wing.
