Ledoux was stationed with the Punnichy R.C.M.P. Detachment after he graduated as a Special Constable in 1978. As a Special Constable, Gilbert could not advance to a higher position and this prompted him to pursue his career as a regular R.C.M.P. Constable. Immediately following graduation, Gilbert was assigned to the North Battleford Detachment. Gilbert, his wife Debbie and their three sons have made their home in North Battleford.
