Superintendent Andre Traut said the two were attached to the province's crime fighting unit.
"A 30-year-old Grassy Park constable suspected of tipping drug lords off prior to envisaged operations in return for a payment, was arrested first.
"The Hawks then proceeded to arrest a Fish Hoek inspector, 38, who was arrested in connection with allegations of unauthorised release of suspects without processing the necessary documents," Traut said.
The two were charged with corruption and defeating the ends of justice.
They will appear in the Simonstown Magistrate's Court on Friday.
