Metro Standards

The standards listed on this page govern the metropolitan region only of the ARMER system. Statewide/system-wide standards are available on the ARMER system website http://www.srb.state.mn.us

PLEASE NOTE - NEW STANDARD NUMBERS: On October 23, 2008, the Statewide Radio Board approved ARMER Standard 1.5.0 – Standard of Standards: The Development & Management of Regional Standards. The approval of this standard required Regional Radio Boards, including the MESB, to conform to a new numbering system. Please be aware that metro area standards have new numbers and be sure to read the title of the standard to insure the receipt of appropriate standard. The standard titles have not changed.
