Rene Bravo
Former Silverton
PD offi cer found
guilty in domestic
violence incident
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
A former Silverton Police Department sergeant was convicted on all charges relat-
ing to a Keizer domestic violence incident in March 2020.
A 12-person jury unanimously convicted Rene Bravo, 61, of Albany, of two counts
of assault in the second degree, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, attempted
assault in the fourth degree and interfering with a police offi cer. The jury rendered its
verdict on Friday, March 12.
Bravo will be sentenced on April 9.
On March 2, 2020, a 9-1-1 caller reported that her husband was threatening her with
a knife. She also reported struggling with Bravo as he attempted to gain control of a
loaded rifl e.
Responding offi cers entered the home and located the victim and her two children
and evacuated them.
Offi cers found Bravo in the house wearing a bullet-resistant vest and refusing
to comply with offi cers’ commands, eventually barricading himself in the home.
Neighboring homes were evacuated as police attempted to negotiate with Bravo.
Nearly three hours later, Bravo exited the home and was subdued by a K9 offi cer.
According to court documents, Bravo injured his wife with a knife during the
incident.
According to public records, Bravo was previously employed as a military
police offi cer with the Oregon National Guard, an offi cer with the Hubbard Police
Department, and a reserve offi cer with Aurora Police Department. He was also listed
as a training offi cer between 2014-15 with the Department of Public Safety Standards
and Training.
