Billboard magazine said sources had told it the rumours were legitimate but would not publicly comment until more details had been agreed.

A statement on former lead singer Sting's website from A&M Records confirmed that some kind of commemoration was likely, but said the "depth of the band's involvement" was undecided.

A tour would be the trio's first since splitting in 1986, although they did play an impromptu set at Sting's wedding to Trudie Styler in 1992 and reunite again in celebration of their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"As the 30th anniversary of the first Police single approaches, discussions have been under way as to how this will be commemorated," the A&M statement said.

"While we can confirm that there will indeed be something special done to mark the occasion, the depth of the band's involvement still remains undetermined."

Sting has repeatedly expressed reluctance at reuniting, but drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers have been more positive, according to Billboard.

"I'm very keen on it," Copeland told the magazine after the Hall of Fame induction.

"But I absolutely understand why it's not going to happen and I'm down with that.

"It was really great to be the Police for 15 minutes. If you can think of some other award we can go get or some other good reason, give me a call, and I'll try it out!"
