Color me surprised.
Police doing police things.

There are worse things a policeman could be getting up to, quite frankly.
Continued working for the force on restricted duties since the day of his arrest.
He was on desk duties and likely stripped of access to police systems while they waited for his trial. As soon as he was found guilty, he was kicked off the force, as is the case with every criminal prosecution of a police officer.
Complete non-story
If he’s good at his job I don’t care whether he decides to take drugs or not
Was he trying to _plant_ it?
Or did he bring his personal supply along when visiting someone’s home and fat-finger it whilst in front of an audience?
I think I’m missing some detail here… Why would you carry it on you in the first place?
This “Off duty” needs to end. You ask almost any constable and they proudly tell you they’re never off duty. It’s likely almost all constables carry their warrant card at all times so at any moment they can carry out their duties whether they’re on duty or not.
anyone getting angry should really consider the fact that we are ALL human, and we ALL use substances to some degree, from my perspective this is a non-crime – if he wants to snort coke off duty, I’m all for it to be honest.. snorting coke while on duty is something I’d have issue with though.
