Excerpt: Many slang terms, often considered offensive, exist for police officers. The terms are rarely used by the police themselves and instead are used by prison inmates or even by the general public. 2-5's (Two-Five's or Two point Fives) US, derogatory term for a Campus or University police officer signifying the subject considers them "half a cop" or not a real Police Officer.2.5 or 2 1/2 being half of 5, a reference to the term 5-0. Also used concurrently with "rent-a-cop" as a slang term for security guards and campus police officers.5-O (Five-Oh) US, police officers and/or a warning that police are approaching. Derived from the original television series Hawaii Five-O, which depicted an elite state police unit/task force in the 50th State. An alternate theory holds that the term derives from the Ford Crown Victoria with the 5.0 liter Interceptor police package, but this theory has little or no verification.5's, The New York City Police. Police followup Form DD-5, which is standard report filed by detectives during active cases. Aina Swedish, the police. From the Turkish Aynas z. Used in a derogatory way, usually in socially exposed neighborhoods.Accoutrements UK, a police constable's personal equipment. At signing-on parade, the procedure was to give the order "show your accoutrements," at which the constables would produce their handcuffs, truncheons, whistles and notebooks for inspection. This was common practice up to the early 1990s. As officers now carry more equipment for their protection, having every officer produce this at the beginning of a shift would be impractical. Up until the introduction of police radios officers carried a whistle, (to signal to officers that they required assistance, and to attract the attention of the public) and 3 Old Pence so that, whilst on patrol, the officer could ring the police station from a public phone kiosk. (This amount would, of course, have varied according to the minimum cost of a call from a phone-box.)Asfalt Kovboyu
