PC Shaun Elliott is accused of assaulting the teenager at a petrol station in Buxton in January and assaulting a man during an arrest at Buxton Police Station in December.
He denied two charges during a hearing at Chesterfield Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The 53-year-old was released on bail.
He was told he will go on trial at the same court on 8 November charged with assault by beating in relation to the alleged Taser incident.
