The wreck happened just before midnight at the intersection of Forsyth and Mitchell streets. According to investigators, the patrol vehicle was rear-ended by the other driver.
Both officers were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and are expected to be OK.
The at-fault driver sustained minor injuries but refused medical treatment, police said. They were arrested for not having a valid license and cited for failing to obey a traffic control device.
