In most cases, writing a statement against a police officer is known as making a complaint against a police officer. The complaints are usually handled by the police department's internal affairs unit, but may also be handled by citizen oversight committees in some jurisdictions. Very serious allegations of police misconduct may also be made to the District Attorney, the State Attorney General, or the FBI.
In order to make the complaint, you will be asked to write out exactly what happened. This usually means that you write down what you alone observed. If there are other witnesses, they need to come in and write what they each observed. It needs to be detailed, as objective as possible, and name the officer(s), date/time, location, and what the officer exactly did or said. Audio or video recordings are also very important, but if you are making one of those, it is best that you not tell the officer you are recording them (Some officers won't care that you are recording because they feel they are doing nothing wrong, and other officers may attempt to stop you from recording. The legality of officers stopping you from recording is not clear.)
Name everyone that witnessed the situation so that all witnesses can be contacted. Witnesses who were NOT involved in the arrest/situation, but who are completely independent, are the best.

Based on the question, I assume the officer in question is employed by the police department; however, has not completed training through the state. Yes, the police officer can issue a ticket. Although not certified, the officer has been granted authority through the police department, and holds the authority to do anything that a certified officer may do (within reason).
