The training center at the shuttered high school, 7627 S. Constance Ave., was created under a federal consent decree that requires ongoing training for officers on deescalation strategies and accountability for their use of force.
Residents can expect a greater police presence around the former school site and Rosenblum Park, 7547 S. Euclid Ave., Harris said in a Facebook post.
The Chicago Police Department signed a two-year lease on the building, according to Harris director of community engagement Alvin Rider.
The building has been vacant since 2014, when school operations were moved to the newer South Shore International College Preparatory High School, 1955 E. 75th St.

SOUTH SHORE City Council approved a controversial plan to turn the old South Shore High School into a police and fire training center Friday afternoon.
In an online meeting, aldermen voted to allow the city to continue leasing the former school site through September 2028. The approval came without debate.
The training center at the shuttered high school, 7627 S. Constance Ave., was created under a federal consent decree that requires ongoing training for officers on de-escalation strategies and accountability for their use of force.
A specific curriculum for the training center has not been completed yet, but the site will be used for all officers on the force, according to former Chicago Police Department spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi. There are few restrictions on the types of training that could be conducted there.
The ordinance only mandates the site be used as a training center and that police and fire departments follow the Board of Educations aquatic safety policy if they renovate the pool for scuba training.
