How to deal with the "undercover cop unearths den of crime" message?
In SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition, my city has 40k population and the only red labelled message comes from the public safety advisor. I built a local police station as the message says, but the message didn't disappear for years of the game-time.
When I click "this locale", the camera zooms in the red ellipse below. Since this area is already covered by the police station, I don't know what else to do.
What should I do to get rid of the "undercover cop unearths den of crime" message?

I have found out it's a game bug due to the large tile objects. The police can't penetrate beyond three tiles. So the solution for the airport is to surround it with roads (do this for all large tiles such as the golf course, university, etc), place a deluxe police station at both long ends around the middle, and a police kiosk at every corner. Also as others said make sure your sims are educated and after awhile you won't have either crimes or fires. If crime persists at the airport and messages drive you crazy, anyway, blow up the airport and let the game run a month, then put it back. Goes for all large tiles that keep having crime messages regardless of police stations nearby. It means the game has randomly put a crime in a center tile where police can't get to so it remains unsolved.
