The detective constable accused Ms Maynard and her husband Leslie Coombs of trafficking her son Joshua, 12.
Kent Police apologised and described the incident as inappropriate, unprofessional and lacking in tact.
The family were stopped by the plain clothes officer from the Channel Tunnel Policing Unit on 20 February.
