Spanish translation:oficial (encargado/a / coordinador/a) del censo de contingencia
Explanation:
If I understand well, this particular "officer" doesn´t make decisions, but gathers and coordinates information regarding the current location and status of staff members (and perhaps other individuals -civilians, customers, general public).
IMHO, this is similar to a Census Coordinator's role.
Sadly, I found only 1 site with a reference to "censo de contingencia" (see links below).
