Depends what the lie is. Police officers are not under any oath to tell the truth. They do not have to tell the truth if asked if they are an undercover officer, for example.
Dennis Radar, the 'Bind Torture Kill' serial killer, was caught by a lie. In one of his (frequent) letters to the police, Dennis asked if he could be traced, if he sent the next one on a floppy disk. The police replied that it would be ok.
Sure enough, Dennis' next package contained a floppy disk, and the hidden metadata embedded in the files gave the police the name and location of the killer. He was duly put under observation, arrested, and charged.

What should you do if a police officer lies on a report for an auto accident?
Police officers never lie.
Do police arrest someone immediately if they claim it was self defense or do they wait?
It depends on the policy of the police department, the state the act occurs in and the circumstances. The ultimate decision lies with the State's Attorney or DA. Even if the police arrest, or delay and arrest. The decision by the prosecutor may require you to be arrested, or released.
What do police power and authority consist of?
The power of a police officer lies vested in his physical strength and ability. It is based on this power that he gets enrolled as a police officer. A police officer without power can in no means subdue a criminal, it is vital. Likewise, the authority of a police officer is vested in him through a governmental agency that empowers or clothes him with certain duties that can take authority of to arrest and subdue criminals. Both are very vital in performing successfully as a police officer.I hope this explanation helps.
Can a police officer be prosecuted for falsifying legal documents?
Yes. If an officer files false or misleading police reports to his/her department, he/she can be internally investigated and punished, up to and including firing. If an officer files false Court documents, such as he/she lies on an affidavit for a search or arrest warrant, he/she can be prosecuted criminally. There are a large number of crimes that involve lying to the Court or filing false legal documents and anyone who does such a thing can be prosecuted under criminal law (in the US).

If you are referring to "undercover" officers, plainclothes detectives, or "tactical old clothes" officers, they are not lying to anyone because they are not under oath to tell the truth.
If police officer lied is his police department sued for his actions?
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.
