Aloha Muckrock News,

Our apologies for not replying sooner. My name is Sgt. Barbara Delaforce. I'm attempting to complete your requests, but as of this writing I'm having a difficult time retrieving the downloaded information for the our page and profiles. Do you have current instructions on that as the ones that were included in the earlier instructions do not seem to be working for us. I am going to try again tomorrow but for now, I've attached the screenshots of our Facebook Page Roles and our blocked accounts on Twitter...to which there are none.

Mahalo,
Sgt. B. Delaforce
