Definition

Street slang for police officers, derived from the classic 1970s TV show "Hawaii Five-O" about an elite state police unit. This warning term allows people to alert others about law enforcement presence without being obvious. It's been a staple of cop-avoidance vocabulary for decades across multiple generations.

Example Usage

5-0 rolling through—everybody be cool and act natural.
