As others have correctly noted, it is a slang term for police that comes from the TV show Hawaii 5-0 that ran from 1968 to 1980. It was about a fictional state police force. The 5-0 comes from that fact that Hawaii was the 50th state. As far as I can tell, there are not real police units in Hawaii that use the name 5-0.

It comes from the detectives division in Hawaii. There was also a series in the 70's called Hawaii 5-0.
