Unfortunately you are not entitled to sue for any damages whatsoever. The Department is not responsible for the officer's actions in pursuing a personal relationship except in rare circumstances of specific types of abuse of his position of authority to accomplish his goals---AND ONLY your wife can make this charge. She, on the other hand, has committed adultery--and therefore you may be entitled to an unequal division of the marital estate in a subsequent divorce proceeding. I am sorry you are having to go through this but clearly she allowed herself to stray---meaning she was not feeling about your marriage and relationship the same way you were and you deserve better--you deserve someone who feels towards you the way you feel towards them. I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but unfortunately it is the law, at least until congress changes things. Good luck.
