I don't believe he will remain there. Maybe he will.
He is Capitol Police Officer Private 1st Class.

I believe he was given this honor for his "Heroism under duress" during the Capitol siege on Jan. 6th.

He has been recommended to receive the Congressional Gold Medal for his Heroism.

All well deserved honors.
