Gee, take a look at the CHP. They have used low-band VHF for many years and still do. Most of their comms are on 39 to 42 MHz with 769 for the mobile extenders.
You’ll find a complete listing on the Radio Reference website (http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=995).

Kinda off topic but our county used to use 33.90 for contacting fire dispatch. Several of us put up crossband repeaters that could all hear each other on 33.90. Effectively we had a countywide VHF system using 33.90 as the back haul.

I can't speak for the rest of the US, but in California, all of the
County Communications centers have a low band VHF frequency they use
for mutual aid in the event of a major disaster; such as an
earthquake. Although seldom used, they are tested frequently.
