Seeing that advice regularly now, today I decided to look it up.
One internet reference claimed that the phrase was first documented in The New Centurions, back in 1972. If I've ever seen it before, I've forgotten about it, but - fortunately - it is still available.

A good but later, but pretty sure that’s where I first heard it. I’ll check out the OG. Thanks for the link!
The movie was adapted from the 1971 novel.Quote:

The New Centurions (1971), is a novel by American writer Joseph Wambaugh. It explores the stresses of police work in Los Angeles, California, in the early 1960s. The author wrote the novel, his first, while he was still a working member of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The novel was adapted as a film of the same name starring George C. Scott and Stacy Keach.
Wambaughs novels are great and that's one of the best adaptations. Still relevant today.
