Still appeal to emotion. Also, nobody said not to send alerts. But not to use the emergency alarm chime during that time. People who are awake are still likely to see the message notification light on their phones and check.
Everyone else will see it when they wake up. And, notably, information such as vehicle make and licence plate will be fresher in their minds right as they leave for their commute, as opposed to completely forgotten if they were woken up at 2AM for a message they would just delete without reading.

The police are also looking for leads and witnesses with any information to something that happened prior to the alert being issued - it is not exclusively to have people be on the lookout for license plates when they leave the house. I am not sure why some people think this is the singular reason for the alert.
