Any duly consitituted law enforcement officer possessing the power of arrest may arrest a judge. An exception may be if the judge is actually on the bench and presiding at an in-session court hearing. Then the arrest may have to wait until his/her court is adjourned for the day.

In the U.S. generally speaking, if the chief of police has done something illegal, anyone with arrest powers can arrest him/her, in accordance with normal arrest procedures. Just because the person is a police officer, or even the chief of police does not mean they can't be arrested.
