Are aerodrome security personnel explicitly included in the scope of the alcohol and psychoactive substances procedures?

Yes, unescorted persons operating on the movement area or other operational areas include persons employed directly by the aerodrome operator or by contracted organisations which are not involved in operation, rescue and firefighting, and maintenance, such as aerodrome security personnel.
