Raccoon City Police Department (file)


 * The city police department building
 * was originally an art museum and is
 * located in the center of the city.
 * Despite its relatively small size,
 * the [Raccoon City Police Department is
 * renowned for its squad of elite officers
 * known as S.T.A.R.S..


 * After the "Arklay Mansion Incident",
 * [Chris Redfield]] and the few S.T.A.R.S.
 * members who managed to survive began
 * a thorough investigation to try to get
 * to the bottom of what had happened.
 * However, their investigation was
 * hampered by police chief Brian Irons.


 * Chief Irons, facing growing suspicion
 * that he had dubious ties to the Umbrella
 * Corporation, did his best to obscure
 * the results of the investigation.
 * Later, Chris decided to conduct
 * his own investigation into Umbrella
 * and traveled to Europe -- to the main
 * branch of the Umbrella Corporation.


 * September 29
 * Raccoon City had lost all of its
 * municipal functions and was now
 * overrun with zombies.


 * City police worked furiously
 * to restore order.
 * However, faced with unimaginably
 * abnormal circumstances,
 * their efforts proved ineffective and
 * nearly all of them were killed.


 * That day was rookie Leon S. Kennedy's
 * first day on the job. Because of
 * oversleeping and massive traffic delays,
 * he didn't make it into the city until after
 * sunset. He then found himself firmly
 * planted into the middle of the chaos.


 * He meets Claire Redfield who came to
 * Raccoon City to find her brother, also a
 * member of the Raccoon City police force.
 * The two of them head towards their
 * shared destination, the Raccoon City
 * Police Department.
