The opening of the lab will be a much-needed shot in the arm for police investigators, which has many criminal cases thrown out by the courts for lack of evidence.
Mr Boinnet described it as a game changer after he inspected the construction of the mega project at the DCI headquarters Friday.
For a long time, the lack of a forensic laboratory has made it hard for police to prosecute terror and other criminal cases.
But this is set to improve following the construction of the national police forensics laboratory which will be ready in October.
