Police Station Safe Locations

Two main safes are hidden inside the Raccoon City Police Station, each rewarding the brave with unique loot.
Here’s where you’ll find them:

West Office Safe: Located on the first floor, west side, in the “West Office” side-room. Watch for nearby zombies!
Waiting Room Safe: Found on the second floor, east wing, within the Waiting Room.

Knowing these locations helps you plan your route and avoid unnecessary risks. For a detailed map and walkthrough, see this guide at PoliceStation.co.za.

Safe Codes and Rewards

Each safe requires a three-part code, dialed in the correct direction.
Here are the exact combinations and what you’ll receive:

West Office Safe (First Floor)

Code: 9 Left, 15 Right, 7 Left
Reward:
- Both Leon & Claire: Hip Pouch (increases inventory space)[1][4].

Waiting Room Safe (Second Floor)

Code: 6 Left, 2 Right, 11 Left
Reward:
- Leon: Muzzle Brake (Matilda pistol upgrade)
- Claire: High Capacity Mag (JMB Hp3 firearm)[1][4].

Tip: Codes are found as clues within the police station, but you can use them without solving in-game puzzles.

How to Open Safes Step by Step

Unlocking safes is simple but you must use the exact sequence and direction:

Interact with the safe—the code dial will appear.
Input the code:
- Turn the dial left to your first number.
- Turn right to your second number.
- Turn left again to your final number.
Confirm and open! Collect your reward and strategize your next move.

Note: You don’t need to find the clues in order to enter the codes—they’re always the same in every playthrough.

Why Safe Upgrades Matter

The upgrades obtained from police station safes are game-changers:

Hip Pouch: Expands your inventory, allowing you to carry more weapons, ammo, and key items. This is especially valuable during tougher, later areas.
Weapon Upgrades: Boosts firepower and magazine size, letting you face tougher foes (and bosses) with confidence.

Failing to secure these rewards usually means more backtracking and risk, making early safe cracking critical for success. Learn more about strategic gameplay at Police Station’s Resident Evil 2 resource page.

Tips for Navigating the Police Station

Survival in the RPD is about more than codes—stay sharp!

Check your surroundings for lurking zombies or the relentless Tyrant before stopping to open safes.
Manage your inventory—use Hip Pouch rewards promptly.
Save frequently at typewriters, especially before venturing into new areas.
Consult PoliceStation.co.za/police-station for detailed maps and tactical advice.
