I just got awarded the Citizen's Patrol badge... but I don't think I flagged anything recently.

Anyone know why that might happen?

Because you flagged something for moderator attention, probably in the past.

Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange

2011-02-09: Flagging for moderator attention now counts for the Citizen Patrol badge. This change applies retroactively.
