The force have specially trained officers who can detect items which might form some form of explosive.
They also have dog units which are able to respond to any disorder.
During the build up to the summit and during it there will be searches of roads, bridges, buildings, open areas, beaches and cliff tops.
The G7 nations, plus invited leaders from Australia, India and South Korea, will gather at Carbis Bay, St Ives, between 11 and 13 June.
The policing operation is largely focused on potential security threats and the level of police resources, but also aims to reduce the impact on local residents, businesses and visitors, particularly in the key locations of St Ives, Falmouth and Newquay.
