They were leaving a social event in the south-western department of Huila when their vehicle hit a road mine.
They were then shot dead in the ambush, a police spokesperson said.
It is the worst attack on security forces since former guerrilla Gustavo Petro was sworn in as Colombia's first left-wing president less than a month ago.
Images obtained by newspaper El Tiempo showed bodies strewn around a police pickup truck.
Eight deaths were initially reported but the government later revised down the figure, to seven dead and one injured.
