Is the twin rivers police a real police department?

Your question in and of itself is ignorant. What is a real police department and what is a fake police department? It implies that fake police departments exist and are allowed to exist. That is ridiculous. To question whether a police department is real is just ludicrous and doesn't make any sense at all. Upon what are you basing your question? People have some really weird and rather stupid misperceptions about law enforcement. Yes, the Twin Rivers Police Department is a real police department. They have the same peace officer authority granted by the State and can do the same things as any other local police or sheriffs department and highway patrol.

Is it illegal to use a real police departments logo in a movie?

Yes. If the copyrighted police department logo is central to your story -- it may not be -- you can approach the municipality and request permission to use the image. Be prepared to show storyboards or other visual examples of how you intend the logo to be used in the story, and explain its pivotal place in the story. Once permission is granted -- in writing -- you can use the logo in the ways you describe using it when you request permission. Otherwise, hire a graphic artist to design a logo that conveys the authenticity that your script requires.
