I believe it is now the main Police station in Lefkosa that you now have to visit in order to extend a visa.

Can anyone tell me where it is. I have looked on google map and have found two the "Nicosia Police Headquarters" and the "Turkish Cypriot Police Headquarters", not sure which one it is??

thanks in advance

Most things done are at the Nicosia Police Headquarters. Never been to the other one.
Am sure someone on forum can confirm.

The Kıbrıs Gazetesi published this (Google translated)

The Ministry of Interior announced that the "visa extension" procedures carried out by the Immigration Department will be carried out by the General Directorate of Police as of September 27. 

In a written statement made by the Ministry of Interior, it was stated that “Foreigners in the TRNC should apply to the General Directorate of Police as of September 27, 2021 for visa extension procedures.” 

It referred to the PGM which when Googled gives this location

Turkish Cypriot Police Headquarters (Polis Genel Müdürlüğü)
+90 392 228 34 11

Maybe try calling that number before going.

Looks like the other one according to map. Either way they are not far apart.
