Detective controls are designed to identify and alert the occurrence of an error, omission, or malicious activity. By requiring the night manager to count the cash drawer and reconcile it with the day's sales, Jose is implementing a control that detects discrepancies or errors after they have occurred, hence it is a detective control.
