In Most cases No they have not.
It does however, depend on the state they are employed by.
Adultery is a minor/petty crime in some states, however, the states where it is a crime, consider it a "property" crime. This infuriates most women who rightfully do not wish to see themselves viewed as "property" by any legal terms.
Pennsylvania repealed it's adultery law that provided for a maximum penalty of two years in jail or 18 months in a mental facility. Michigan has a life sentence attached to its adultery law and Maryland a $10.00 fine. All these are considered "BLUE" laws and are rarely if ever enforced.
Police departments would have a hard time using these laws to discipline their officers as most define their rules of conduct around military standards and must prove the actions of the accused were prejudice to good order and discipline. IN some cases however, the department forbids and can discipline officers for conduct unrelated to the job that negatively impacts the department or the public perception of the department. A local department, the Beaverton, Oregon Police Department has this to say in their general orders: GENERAL CONDUCT. No member of this department shall act or behave in such a manner as to dishonor or disgrace him/herself in any way that can be associated with the department or profession. This would seem to clearly address the act of adultery, and even such unrelated acts as falling behind on bills.
no but he can issue you a ticket because of it.
No.
Yes, they can be arrested and prosecuted. It is unlawful to to impersonate an officer of the law in any manner.
Depends on his policy. In most cases yes, but the family must wait 2 years to collect. Also, the amount may not be the full amount as if it were a line of duty death.
Unlikely. Generally there are no special morals laws for police officers. You should, however, talk to a local attorney. There may be special circumstances in your case.
Regardless of whether a person is a police officer or not, adultery and fornication are still on the books as a misdemeanor (Sec. 97-29-1) in Mississippi. Interestingly, police are obligated to investigate, and even make arrests, if someone presses charges. US Supreme Court decisions have probably made the statute unconstitutional, so a conviction might be struck down on appeal, but that hasn't happened, yet.
The possessive form of the noun police officer is police officer's.Example: The police officer's car blocked the escape of the suspect.
Yes, a police officer can issue a ticket to another police officer if they witness a violation of the law by that officer. Police officers are expected to uphold the law regardless of their own profession.
Simply because he is a police officer there is no special unlawful or illegal connotation applied to his transgression. However he, and his co-worker COULD be disciplined by their agency for "Conduct Unbecoming." Hardly anyone is prosecuted for adultery these days, and, indeed, many (most?) states have struck it from their statute books.

Police Officers
Technically a police officer can investigate anything alone, assuming it isn't a potentially violent or threatening situation. That being said, many police officers and police departments prefer to have more than one officer on the scene "just in case."
