Default common radar bands?

anybody happen to know what radar bands cops typically use while 1) stationary, watching cars go by and 2) when actually moving with traffic? from my understanding its usually K band for stationary, KA for moving, and X is the old band that was used but now is usually found in things like automatic doors for buildings? any help would be awesome, thanks

K band is also used by some security systems and auto doors as well

K-band is all cops use here moving or not...

state troopers use Ka-band

x-band is no longer used

Definitely still used...it was actually annoying that my V-! picked it up so early, I was looking for the cop for a good mile or so (On the way down to Florida), I forget which state it was...maybe SC.
