You know what. I dont think any of these answers are right. Think about it. If the name came from a car the police were driving in the 80's and 90's. Then how come there was a 70's T.V. show calling cops 5-0. It doesn't make sense. Try finding out why the 70's show called themselves hawaii 5-0 and you'll get your answer..

It is a combination of the above answers. It started with "Hawaii 5-0" the tv show and revived when the police started driving Mustang 5.0.

Its because back in the '80s-'90s the police officers used to drive the Ford Mustang 5-0, one of the fastest cars Ford put out. So when you would see a 5-0 mustang the chance that it was a cop was very good. It has just kind of stuck through today.
check out the 5-0 below

It is a warning to criminals by other criminals to let them know the police are in the area so they can throw down their drugs, weapons, flee etc. It comes from the television show Hawaii 5-0.
