Notify the police so he can be taken out of the force and into jail.

You would want to report it to either the Police's Internal Affairs Division, or go above them and report it to the FBI, they are federal and should investigate a local matter if you feel the cops might just try to cover it up. I have my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice.

If you have the police mans badge number then you should definitly report him if not just go to the station and tell them what happen

I think that's one of the hardest things. If a policeman commited a murder, it would be way less likely for him to be convicted. If there were prints, he could say "I was investigating." And have really small suspection.

Go to a parent or police station. This is a huge problem and they should be taken off the force. If you tell someone that you trust, they can do something about it and it probably wouldn't happen again.
