They were charged in May after an alleged incident during a traffic stop last November when they arrested a man for obstructing officers.
The man filed a complaint with the Saskatoon Police Service, which was forwarded to the Saskatchewan Public Complaints Commission (PCC).
Charges were laid after a PCC investigation and recommendations from Crown prosecutors.
Both have been reassigned to administrative duties pending the outcome of the court proceedings.
Their trial has been set for Dec. 17.
