Narrative:

I was reviewing the log book prior to departure and did not see a first flight of the day security check and requested one to be done. The agent that was closing out the flight said he would call a lead agent. This is approximately 16 mins prior to departure. The agent came down and I told him I needed a security check for the first flight of the day. He told me that this flight just came in from lax and it was a turn and didn't need a security check in yyz that the check didn't need to be done. I told him I thought it needed to be, but if that was the case-ok. I told the first officer as we approached the 30 min point prior to landing to call operations and request first flight of the day security check along with other issues -- APU not working, we need air and electric. The windshield needed cleaning and first flight of the day security inspection needed to be completed prior to departure. It was then an issue as to why the inspection hadn't been done and this was after being told it had been done and the paperwork had been put under the door. We searched the floor, the trash, the log book and under the seats and no report found. Then we were told, sorry, wrong flight, no report was done. My point was, ok, so this whole issue is now a mess, but we still need a first flight of the day inspection. I left a note in the log book, I watched the windows being cleaned and secured the cockpit and left the gate. I felt uneasy about the issue being a security issue.
