Although Resident Evil 3: Nemesis depicts the doors to the detective's offices and waiting area as being boarded up and blocked off, they are simply locked in other games. The hall's central focus is the reception desk, which houses a computer, a filing system, and a typewriter (presumably for taking down incident reports, so as not to tie up the hall's lone computer). There is also an extendable ladder located on the wall opposite the main doors. The Main Hall branches off via three doors: one door leads to the detectives' offices (the hallway with the pay phones), another door leads to the waiting room, and the last door leads to the officers' lobby. The statue is a remnant from when the police station served as Raccoon City's art museum. The statue also holds a key it is dropped from the vase the statue is holding when the Unicorn Medal is placed in its slot.
There is a statue on the lower level of the Main Hall that opens a passageway when all of its Emerald Plates are in place. During the Raccoon City outbreak, it was used as a shelter by survivors. The main hall was used as the central hub for all activity by the officers of Raccoon City.
