Bowskill was given a one-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work after admitting six counts of theft and one of fraud.
A Nottinghamshire Police disciplinary hearing in February had found him guilty of gross misconduct and he was dismissed from the force.
