Toronto Police Services Board chair Norm Gardner was recently suspended for accepting 5,700 rounds of ammunition from the Toronto police force for his personal use.

The question no one has asked, to which I really want to know the answer:

What on earth does one private individual need 5,700 rounds of ammunition for?

I know virtually nothing about firearms, but doesn't posessing 5,700 rounds of ammunition imply that he intends to fire a firearm 5,700 times? Why on earth would anyone need to do that "for personal use"?
