Ryan Silva – Sitka Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Employed since 2008, Silva filed a lawsuit in 2019 alleging retaliation for whistleblowing. He reported the secret purchase of automatic weapons without proper policies and procedures, and claimed he was demoted and placed on administrative leave for supporting a colleague’s sexual harassment allegations. The lawsuit also alleged that he was removed from a sexual assault investigation to protect a suspect connected to department leadership.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
