Raccoon Police Department is a fictional law-enforcing agency that appears in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror franchise. The station is located and situated right in the heart of Raccoon City.

History

The precinct was formerly an art museum until the late 1980s, when it was purchased by the police for its ample parking space.

It was lavishly decorated with art purchased by Brian Irons, and several storage rooms were occupied primarily with undisplayed items. The building contained two entrances to the city's sewer system; one through the kennels, and one through a secret room connected to Chief Irons' office. These sewer entrances allowed travel into Umbrella's secret, underground lab.

Arklay Mountains incident

In late July 1998, the S.T.A.R.S. team were dispatched into the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of murders in the region. However, after the Spencer Mansion incident, surviving S.T.A.R.S. members led by Chris Redfield, requested a full-scale investigation against Umbrella Corporation's activities; this was denied by Chief Irons, who later officially disbanded S.T.A.R.S., seeing that his role as a double agent was in danger.

Raccoon City outbreak

During the T-virus outbreak in Raccoon City on September 1998, Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and other survivors sought refuge at the precinct. Days after the initial outbreak, S.T.A.R.S. member Brad Vickers tried to seek refuge in the station after being followed by Umbrella's Bio-weapon Nemesis; however, he was brutally killed by the creature in front of his comrade Jill Valentine, at the main door of the R.P.D headquarters.

The R.P.D building was temporarily used as a fortress by surviving officers (who later were killed by creatures or shot to death by Chief Irons); it was destroyed along with the rest of Raccoon City, in a military strike aimed at preventing the T-Virus outbreak (and information about the outbreak) from spreading.
