Peel was struck off from the force last year after he was found guilty of gross misconduct for abusing access to police systems.
He was investigated for two separate cases of misconduct.
The first case involved incidents between December 2022 and April 2023.
During this period, Peel used his police radio both on and off duty to access multiple channels belonging to other police forces.
Peel is due to appear for sentencing on Monday, April 13 at Salisbury Crown Court.
