A patrol tracking system is disclosed, comprising an NFC carrier, a handheld device and a cloud server equipment, wherein the NFC carrier can be placed at a patrol location such that an administrator can scan the NFC carrier by means of the control unit of the handheld device, accordingly establish an NFC device setup file, and then upload it to the cloud server equipment; afterwards, when a patroller arrives at the patrol location, it is possible to use the handheld device to scan the NFC carrier, and, upon completing the scanning operation, create a patrol record file including relevant GPS coordinates, and then upload it to the cloud server equipment such that the back-end administrator can exactly manage and control the actual patrol location of the patroller thereby achieving the purpose of precise and credible patrol inspections.
