Suffolk County lawmakers will once again try to question representatives from Flock Safety, the controversial, growing license plate reader company, over rising public safety concerns.

This morning, the company is scheduled to present before the legislature's Public Safety Committee.

Representatives didn't show up to last month's committee meeting, where lawmakers were set to question Flock officials about how the company stores and uses the data collected by its cameras.

There are hundreds of these license plate readers across Long Island.

Some have applauded the technology for expanding law enforcement's ability to investigate crimes and find missing people, while others have raised privacy concerns.

Several cameras on Long Island have been damaged this year in protest over the surveillance.

Last month, Suffolk County announced it delayed a five-year, $4 million contract with Flock to take over the gunshot detection services currently provided by ShotSpotter.

This morning's meeting will take place at the Suffolk County Legislature Building in Smithtown at 9:30 a.m.
