While you may have the legal right (generally officers are not immune to arrest or prosecution) the mechanics of trying to make a citizen's arrest on a police officer are questionable at best.
It is very doubtful whether you could successfully take an officer in to custody to deliver him to a peace officer or magistrate.
You would probably be better served by making exceptional notes and presenting your case to the local prosecuting attorney (who would have to approve any charges anyway).
