Los Oficiales (Spanish for "The Officials") is a Mexican professional wrestling group, called a stable. Los Oficiales was originally created in AAA and has been active in International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) promotion since 1999 in five distinct incarnations. The current version of Los Oficiales is the most successful group so far, consisting of Oficial 911, Oficial AK-47 and Oficial Fierro, the team held the Distrito Federal Trios Championship for 18 months and the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship for 22 months, which gives them the longest reign in the title's history. In July 2011 this incarnation was joined by newcomer Oficial Spartan, who was, however, kicked out of the group just three months later.
The original Los Oficiales group was a concept created by AAA owner Antonio Peña that was unveiled in 1996. Los Oficiales initially consisted of Guardia, Oficial and Vigilante, three wrestlers dressed as motorcycle police, complete with nightsticks and motorcycle helmets that the trio used to cheat during matches. The characters were very clearly inspired by the World Wrestling Federation character "The Big Boss Man", played by Ray Traylor. On November 19, 1996 they defeated Los Villanos (Villano III, Villano IV and Villano V) to win the AAA Americas Trios Championship. Los Oficiales held the title until some point in early 1997 when Los Villanos regained the titles. Not long after the loss the trio was expanded with Maniac Cop, the first enmascarado Oficial, patterned after the Maniac Cop Movie. The trio of Maniac Cop, Oficial and Vigilante won the Distrito Federal Trios Championship, although no documentation of who they defeated to win the title has been found. At some point between 1997 and 1998 Los Oficiales left AAa and began working for the local promotion in Naucalpan, State of Mexico that would later evolve into International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). In Naucalpan Maniac Cop turned on his partners, to form a group called La Escuadron De La Muerte ("The Death squad"), who also used "Police officer" ring personas. The feud between the two groups lasted until 1999 when La Escuadron slowly began to fade away from the IWRG.
