The Post Courier reports the suspensions come as investigations are launched over their roles in an illegal raid.
Police say they will not entertain ill-behaviour of staff and describe the actions as unprofessional, and unethical.
The suspended officers were members of the dog unit and special services division.
Last week vendors at Raburogo claimed a number of police officers physically and verbally assaulted them, destroyed their properties and drove away with their money which belonged to the vendors.
