How do you say this in Japanese? 神奈川県警は
I know that, in isolation, 神奈川 is kaNAgawa (Nakadaka), 県警 is keNKEI (Heiban), and 神奈川県 is kaNAGAWAkenwa; however, when they are combined as 神奈川県警は, is the pronuncation
1. kaNAGAWAKENKEIWA (Heiban phrase)
2. kaNAGAWAKENkeiwa (with KENkei becoming Atamadaka).
3. kaNAgawakenKEIWA
4. ...something else?

Interesting.
I was born and raised in Tokyo area, and I pronounce the two words like
kaNAgawa and KEnkei.
Some young people prefer keNUKEI, but I think KEnkei is still the standard version used in NHK broadcasting corporation.
For the combined word, I pronounce like
kaNAGAWAKEnkei.
I didn't realized I change the pronunciation.
cf.) I also just realized 県警本部 KEnkei & HOnnbu would become keNNKEIHOnnbu.
