Of course! and they do when it is necessary!

A police officer is subject to the same laws as anyone else, and a few extra laws in many states, and at the federal level, because of their role as a police officer.

Since officers are the same as anyone else, the same requirements for arresting a police officer exist as arresting anyone else. For any arrest probable cause and an arrest authority has to exist.

This is a simplified answer, but essentially, the answer is the same process, and protections that apply to the public apply to the police officer.
