Check this out.... A lesson from Police Guitarist Andy Summers! Watch entire clip for the Roxanne lesson
As far as tone, it sounds as if he's got quite a bit of reverb and maybe a little delay and phase shifter happening. I've never tried to exaclty replicate his sound, but this clip will give you a great head start:

I don't play the song (or any song for that matter) too well myself, but a D DU D D strumming pattern seems to work well for Roxanne.
