Andrew Talbot, 54, from Leigh, who worked in Greater Manchester Police's serious crime division, stole just under four kilos of cocaine from the GMP property store, before then supplying it between February 2018 and January 2020.
Talbot, a cocaine-addicted former army officer, conspired with a convicted drug dealer, Keith Bretherton, and used his position as a police officer to give him confidential force information to help him to recover a drug debt worth more than £20,000.
He also searched the force's confidential computer systems for known or suspected drug dealers to help him shift the drugs he stole and provide information to a friend who was under investigation for assault.
His crimes only began to unravel, however, when he dropped a small bag of cocaine outside his daughter's primary school on February 13 2020, prompting a major investigation by GMP's anti-corruption unit.
He was yesterday jailed for 19 years at Liverpool Crown Court.
