What is the name of the police department building that serves as a major setting in Resident Evil 2?

The police department building that serves as a major setting in Resident Evil 2 is the Raccoon Police Department.

Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield reach the Raccoon Police Department near the beginning of the game while trying to survive the T-virus outbreak in Raccoon City. The building becomes the first large exploration area, containing offices, corridors, puzzles, secret routes, and evidence of the police force’s collapse.

The department’s building was formerly an art museum before being converted into a police station. That history explains its unusual layout and its prominent central statue, which is involved in one of the game’s early puzzles. The location also connects to the underground passages leading toward Umbrella’s facilities.

The remake, Resident Evil 2, retains the police station as a central location but redesigns its rooms and progression. It is often shortened to “the RPD,” an abbreviation for Raccoon Police Department, rather than being confused with the city’s other public buildings.
