Joshua Phillips could have been just another statistic having been misunderstood in school and facing a life of hard labour. However it was something his foreman said to him while labouring at the Mt Smart Stadium as a teenager that turned his life around. He then embarked on a journey towards education and this decision to do so has made Joshua a agent of change in the lives of many communities and workplaces he has led.

Introducing my former Police Commander and someone I am honoured to call my friend...Vitale Lafaele, affectionately known as VJ.
When VJ left school, he worked as a labourer with no qualifications. He applied to join the NZ Army Special Air Service in the first intake open to civilians. From over 300 applicants, Vitale was one of four who survived the 15-month course and served 7 years as a soldier in the SAS.
In 1985 Vitale joined the NZ Police. He served 30 years in Police and held leadership and senior management roles including Detective Inspector, Commander Counter Terrorist Group, Commander Armed Offenders Squad, Commander Dignitary Protection and Witness Protection Squads, and Area Commander Counties Manukau.
When he was appointed to the role of Area Commander, he was the first Samoan to gain the command of an area in New Zealand and is still the only Polynesian to reach the top level in any of Auckland’s three metropolitan police districts.
VJs story of experiencing a major medical setback in January 2014 and how he came back from the brink of physical, emotional and psychological hurt and pain is life changing.
This real life hero and legend is a life that movies are made of, and he lives and breathes amongst us.
