Complain to his superiors, or the Internal Affairs Division of his department (if it has one) - if it results in a criminal prosecution then tell the prosecutor. If all else fails contact your local newspaper. BUT!!! You'd better have good proof of what you are saying or you could be charged with the criminal offense of making a "False Report to the Police," or the officer could sue you for 'defamation.'

What is the ethical and professional response to a drug dealer accusing a officer of taking his money to another officer?

While the drug dealer is a criminal, he is also a citizen reporting a crime. The officer to whom this crime is reported should treat it exactly the same as any other crime report. The fact that the thief is allegedly a police colleague should make no difference. The proper investigation of the alleged theft will either exonerate the officer or come up with evidence that may lead to a prosecution. For the police officer NOT to act properly on the report would mean that the police officer to whom the crime was reported was breaking the law.
