Question

Is it possible to make a citizen's arrest on a police officer?

Community Answer

Since most police officers carry firearms, for your safety, it would be much wiser to contact the local 911 and report whatever it is you believe the officer has done that merits an arrest and report it. You may also consider filing a citizen's complaint against the officer at your convenience. You have far too much to lose if you try to make a citizen's arrest and it were to turn out the officer was acting appropriately. Alternatively, if you report the officer, reasonably believing they have committed a crime or acted inappropriately, you will be fine.
