The Security Room is where you first meet Brad Garrison, Jessie McCarney, and Otis Washington. This is also the place where survivors stay after you have rescued them. The area also houses all of the downloaded content and unlocked content. The player can at any time return Frank to his default outfit by interacting with a stack of boxes underneath the staircase.

Dead Rising
Many parts of the cases take place in cutscenes in the security, revealing important infomation behind Carlito, the zombie outbreak in Willamette, and other details. Toward the end of the game, Jessie phones the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to come and get them out of the mall in the security room. Instead, Special Forces are sent to wipe out all the zombies and "any living things"; and tell Jessie that she would get protection if she signs a note to keep her mouth shut about the events. Jessie instead turns into an zombie and eats the two Special Force agents that were sent for her. Frank West then arrives to find the bloodbath and puts a zombified Jessie out of her misery. Frank comes back to the security room after he fails to get out of the mall via helicopter, and returns to get an ingredient for a medicine to stop himself from becoming a zombie, in Overtime Mode.
