As victims or suspects? There isn't going to be a law against it but it is probably against department policy especially if the relative is the suspect. The appearance of impropriety will hurt the officers crediability and he shouldn't want to do it in the first place. If the relative is the victim, he wouldn't necessarily be banned from investigating but again when it came down to going to court you are giving the defense ammunition.

They are supposed to. But, if it leads to a conflict of interest, they will be transferred.
It also, depends upon your state laws.
