That is usually only in Hawaii, the 50th State that they are called 5-0. and it refers to the Hawaiian State Police. If it is being used as slang elsewhere( I haven't heard it used in West Michigan) then it is probably a reference to the old TV Cop Show Hawaii 5-0 a 70's series. Book 'em Danno, Murder One,

Hawaii 5-0. I think 50 (five-oh) was the squad car number.

Only the state police in Hawaii is called Five Oh, because it is the 50th state.

One reason might be from the old TV show, Hawai'i Five-O, about a fictional state police department headed by Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord.)
