I believe a digital or an analog scanner should work just fine for the city of Long Beach.
Other cities that are capable of being listened to from the Long Beach area can be a different story however.
For the Los Angeles Police Department they now use digital APCO codes so a digital scanner capable of decoding the APCO codes is necessary to listen to just about any LAPD traffic.
Orange county for police and fire as well as some other traffic now uses digitally encrypted communications so no commercially sold equipment is sold to pick up those encrypted frequencies.
As far as trunking a scanner that is capable of being programmed for different trunking systems would be needed for listening to networks that use this type of communications system.
Basically most services that use the air waves to communicate can be picked up on almost any type of scanner. At least in recent memory. However at some point in time cities in Los Angeles may decide to upgrade their systems.

"Long Beach CA is the only one that matters." Well that's a pretty ignorant answer. There are multiple Long Beach's in the US. Namely the first town to be named Long Beach-Long Beach, Long Island, NY. Along with Long Beach, Indiana, Long Beach Island, NJ, Long Beach Washington state, Long Beach Ca, and Long Beach Mississippi. So there are 6 that I found. BTW....Most of LB Ca. is GHETTO!!! Long Beach, NY is the first and the best!!!
