I hear on the scanner from opp flag delta and I was wondering what that means
Have you look in the OPP's wiki page. It's there. All the CNI codes, 10-codes, soft ID meaning, flags..

Ontario Provincial Police Quick Response Codes
Flag Alpha - Armed and Dangerous
Flag Charlie - Contagious Disease
Flag Echo - Escape Risk
Flag Foxtrot - Family Violence
Flag Mike - Mental Instability
Flag Sierra - Suicidal Tendencies
Flag Victor - Violent
yea i hear flag mike all the time aswell but sometimes i hear flag delta and once i heard flag alcohol what ever that one means
What you have listed above is refered to as the CNI (Criminal Name Index)
You may not have a record but still be listed in the CNI eg: Someone with a mental Illness. This gives the officer rather important info on how they may choose to interact with the subject.
It's basically "unsubstantiated" / unproven info on a subject entered by a police officer. Maybe the cop had a some interaction with a person and decided to log it into "locals". It's pretty much an opinion by the officer. It should actually be illegal to enter that type of info unless the person has been charged/convicted and determined by a medical professional as to the persons state. All it does is bias the next cop who interacts with that subject.
Beside police officers are not medical professionals in any capacity. It's like me saying all cops are alcoholics and can't hold down a marriage based on what I read and hear in the news and what I've seen personally.
I would think they base that on there experience with that person, the only people that would have any use for that is another cop who meets that person and will keep that in mind, its not likley a label applied to them that goes anywhere other than the next cop to deal with him/her...... so if the cop deals with a guy who says "i hate cops and will pound the next one i see" wouldnt that be a good thing to flag? and NO, he doesnt need to be a doctor to know that..... my 2 cents
Well I heard a "New one" tonight while listening to Waterloo Regional Police Service:
F=Foxtrot V=Victor "flagged FV for family violence"
Foxtrot Victor Is the same as Foxtrot (as listed in the previous thread)... the Victor maybe just habit to say
