I'm in california and I still have never seen a K band officer even by local police and I travel a lot. You might want to put in parentheses after K band then the town it is in because it is very rare

I live in Fresno and see k band all the time. The greater fresno area has around 1 million people also. Its not as large as the bay area or southern CA but its not exactly a hole in the wall town either.
The chp does not use K band. They use 34.7 Ka stalker radars. The only place you will find k band is local pd and possibly sheriffs.
The Fresno pd seems about half and half at the time but I have never seen a fresno pd on a motorcycle using ka band. I have only seen them use k band.

V1 1.8 Revision 3.861
K band automuting with remote mute switch
Also have:
1. Veil (yep, for over a year)
2. Escort 8500 X50 Red
3. Beltronics Vector 995
well, in central KY I can verify that I've found 95% of the kentucky state police running 34.7. I did find one LEO at night running 35.5 but I'm guessing he was a lexington local...

i've driven to fresno enough doing gigs for work. I have never encountered K band there, but I don't speed in town so I could care less anyways.
Also, you are off on your size. Fresno is bigger then it would seem to be (around 3 million), but it is less then 1/4th the size of the bay area and the bay area is less then almost 1/8th the size of so cal. to say a city is bigger in population then half of a state (so cal) is somewhat of a joke.
Learn your facts before randomly saying anything of nonimportance.
