A police recruiting advertisement which used the colloquial term "cougar" was pulled just before the release of a critical report on the force culture.
The online and print ad read: "We've got a lot in common with cougars, we like 'em young too". According to urbandictionary.com, the term cougar refers to older women who "hunt" for younger men, often at clubs and bars.
