James Riley, 28, strangled PhD student Ellie Moxham and left her unconscious in a hotel room in Manchester on 10 November 2022 before calling for an ambulance about 11 minutes later.
She was put into an induced coma and woke up the next day, but still suffers cognitive difficulties and anxiety.
Riley, of Jepps Avenue in Barton, Preston, was at the time an off-duty officer for Lancashire Police, a role from which he was dismissed last year.
Sentencing Riley for attempted murder at Manchester Crown Court, Judge Patrick Field said he was consumed with "uncontrollable anger and a jealous rage".
