The Police started as a punk band in the 70's that incorporated some heavy reggae influence, before becoming the biggest Pop/Rock band in the world since The Beatles in 1983. But both Sting and Andy Summers had had a strong background in jazz, which is evident from their sense of phrasing, timing, and interest in harmony.
Here, Sting and Andy play a bit of jazz with Jools Holland. I would guess this is from 1981 while The Police were recording Ghost In The Machine in Montserrat.
