I believe the TV show "Hawaii Five-O" was named that because Hawaii was the 50th state admitted to the union. When the show became very popular, other police came to be called "Five-O" also. I went to a college called Ferris State College (now Ferris State University) and we called the campus "police" the "Ferris Five-O" for laughs!
I went to a smaller university in KY and we used to call our campus "Police" the "WKU two-fives" because we felt they were half cops.
