Actually everyone is capable of arresting anyone else. It's called a citizens arrest. It is legal but risky (both physically risky and legally risky).

I have once performed citizen's arrest — I would not recommend doing this unless you want to visit the courthouse multiple times (as a witness, hopefully).
