2023
Derika B. Sutton entered on duty with the FBI on July 6, 2010, as a Legal Instruments Examiner in the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) National Instant Criminal Background Check System Section. She also worked as a Legal Administrative Specialist in the NICS Business and Liaison Unit.
Ms. Sutton has served as a Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator since 2012 and is the National Women’s History representative for CJIS.

Ms. Sutton moved to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program in February 2023 as a Program Analyst and is currently the Hate Crime Statistics Coordinator. Most recently, Ms. Sutton facilitated the first ever Hate Crime Symposium held at CJIS. This symposium provided opportunities for networking, collaboration, and exchange of ideas within the law enforcement community, CJIS Management, and Department of Justice Partners.
At the Summit
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
