The Sumter County Sheriff's Office has an app. They'll send out weather, traffic/road conditions, crime alerts, etc.
It has Most Wanted, Inmate Search, Sex Offenders and other options. |

You can sign up for alerts on your phone through FEMA as well. This info sheet provides directions for both Apple and Android. I get notifications on my phone and watch.
