In another case, an officer based in Sydney's inner west was found to be giving information to known organised crime figures.
Another officer was under investigation for working as a debt collector.
While the raft of misconduct allegations may be damning, it is not the first time the NSW police force has been subject investigations into illegal activity.
The now historic Wood Royal Commission in 1995 saw 284 police officers named for their role in corruption-related offences, such as bribery, money laundering, drug trafficking, fabrication of evidence, and fraud.
The commission, headed by Supreme Court judge James Wood, sought to determine whether corruption and serious misconduct were entrenched in the police force.
