I think people should be allowed to disable these alerts during certain hours. Maybe everyone is allowed to pick 8 or 10 hours within a 24-hour period where they're allowed to be undisturbed.

Thats not true There could be people asleep that could help the situation. Maybe they saw them earlier in the day. Maybe they know someone involved. Who knows?
Your version of "improvement" involves alerting less people, less quickly for the sake of people who are sleeping. That doesn't improve the function of the system, it makes it do it's job worse. Sure there could be ways to improve the system. Making it silent is definitely not one of them. How could it possibly be?
