A police department can be sued for the criminal misconduct by one of its officers, if the misconduct pertains to something done during the course of their duties or otherwise related to their duties as a police officer. However, if a police officer lies to a woman at a bar in order to have a one night stand, for example, that wouldn't be grounds to sue the police department.

A police officer lied on an incident report what should you do?
Complain to his superiors, or the Internal Affairs Division of his department (if it has one) - if it results in a criminal prosecution then tell the prosecutor. If all else fails contact your local newspaper. BUT!!! You'd better have good proof of what you are saying or you could be charged with the criminal offense of making a "False Report to the Police," or the officer could sue you for 'defamation.'

Violence is not an answer. Try filing a civil lawsuit or an internal affairs claim. Also, arrest without good cause is illegal and the officer can get fired or even imprisoned. Generally, if it sounds wrong or illegal, it is. Keep that in mind.
When a police officer arrests someone based on an improperly issued warrant the warrant protects the officer from liability?
If the officer reasonably believes the warrant is valid, then the officer is protected from any legal (or civil) consequence. However, the key phrase to that is "the officer reasonably believes".If someone manages to prove that the officer "should have known better", or that the officer lied in order to have the warrant issued, the officer can be held liable, as they knew the warrant was invalid.
