Can someone tell me how to lower the polycount on objects in Maya?

#1

I created a model and the polycount is over 5.8m verts & faces. This is too high for my CPU to handle and working on my model is extremely difficult. How can I lower the polycount without loosing the detail in the model?

All thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks
