It depends on the use. One example that has been established by case law to be "fair use" is a car repair shop making a print ad which includes the logos of the cars they specialize in.
The biggest difference between a use that would require permission and one that might not is whether it is perfectly clear that you are not representing the company whose logo you are using. If your use makes it appear that the material is coming from Saab, say, you would absolutely need permission.

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.

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.
