You put it in writing, and turn it in, in person, at the police station. Ask for a receipt.
If you are filing a citizen's complaint, swear your statement. Keep in mind that unless you have a video, Internal Affairs may dismiss your concern. Nevertheless, file it. It may be the drop that overflows the cup on a rogue.

Start with the officers immediate supervisor, then if the problem is not addressed go to the next in line. It also helps if you put your complaint in writing. Our department has a pre printed form for citizen complaints, the form goes to the supervisor, the supervisor handles the situation then the Ast. Chief reviews it to ensure it was handled correctly.

If the officer was unethical or unprofessional to the point where it caused them to either act illegally or to compromise public safety, I'd report them. If they were simply just a bad cop, they'll eventually be recognized for what they are by their bosses and co-workers.....

Write a letter to the head of the department and they'll keep the complaint on his file record. Too many complaints can lead to actions taken against that officer.

I would talk to a lawyer concerning what you can do. This would concern administrative law. Who you talk to depends on what happened. In some jurisdictions it would be taken care of internally in other jurisdictions it could be taken care of through the courts.

Also, consider, after talking to a lawyer, going to the press.
