truancy officer
School absence investigator
A truancy officer is a school or government employee who investigates cases of students missing school without permission.
The role involves tracking down absent students, visiting homes, and sometimes compelling attendance through legal means.
The position has declined as schools shifted enforcement to counselors and social workers, making the term somewhat dated: The truancy officer showed up at our door asking about my brother.
