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).
