The National Flagging System was established in 1995 to ensure that provincial/territorial Crown prosecutors were aware of the potential information held in other provinces [and] territories regarding an offender's high and continuing risk of future violent conduct. The National Flagging System is both a database and a network of provincial [and] territorial officials, referred to as national flagging system coordinators, who are responsible for identifying high-risk offenders for flagging purposes. 2, record 2, English, - National%20Flagging%20System

Le Système national de repérage (SNR) a été établi en 1995 pour permettre aux procureurs de la Couronne des provinces et territoires d'avoir accès aux renseignements qui pourraient être en possession d'autres provinces ou territoires au cas où un délinquant continuerait de présenter un risque de violence élevé. Le SNR est à la fois une base de données et un réseau de représentants provinciaux [et] territoriaux, désignés sous le nom de coordonnateurs du SNR, qui doivent identifier les délinquants à haut risque aux fins de repérage. 2, record 2, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20national%20de%20rep%C3%A9rage
