Casevac is a POLICE ROLE. It should be treated under the same auspices as a pursuit or a misper etc. In that the rules and regs are fully embedded in the PAOM I.
It was/is designed purely to swoop and scoop a downed police officer and transfer to a medical facility - endex.
The PAOM says (Section 5, Chapter 2, Paragraph 1.1)
c) Casevac
A flight, the purpose of which, is to give immediate assistance to a sick or injured person in life threatening circumstances
As there is no mention of that sick or injured person being a Police Officer there, would TC be good enough to tell us when it changed?
