Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) has approved a plan for law enforcement officers in the state to work with newly resettled Syrian refugees in an attempt to help them assimilate, the Salt Lake Tribune reported on Monday.

Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Keith Squires told the Tribune that he would like law enforcement officers to help Syrians feel welcomed, rather than feel isolated.

"Just some things that are also proactive and helpful for someone who is coming here from somewhere else," he told the Tribune of his plans.
